03 November 2020 Dear Member,

A company wants to issue shares to its Directors in lieu of services offered by them as they are not drawing any salary.
Now what is the income tax implication??
Will the value of shares be added in their income and taxed in their Yearly income OR there will only be Longterm Gain or Both??
Kindly enlighten

03 November 2020 The value of shares be added in their income as perquisite considering it as sweat equity.
