One of my client being a private Limited Incorporated in 2004.This company is closely held i.e. all shares are holding in the name of Directors & their relatives such as Directors Wife,Mother & their HUFs. During the F.Y.2012-13 the Co.has allotted 80000 Equity Shares to their Directors,Directors relatives & their HUF at the rate of Rs.10/- plus Rs.40/- as premium thereon by filing of Prescribed ROC returns.That means a Share premium Account is created with Rs.3200000/- & same is shown in reserves & surplus.
Now query is whether such issue of Equity Shares at premium is subject to tax or not.
If yes,Please elaborate the relevant provisions of I.T.Act with the date of Applicability.
