This discussion addresses the tax implications of shareholders of B Pvt Ltd purchasing shares in A Pvt Ltd, where B Pvt Ltd holds a stake in A Pvt Ltd. The key concern is whether transferring shares at face value is permissible under the Income Tax Act. Experts advise that a valuation report from a Registered Valuer is crucial; if this valuer supports the face value, the transfer should be smooth. Otherwise, the Income Tax department may raise objections.

The transfer of shares should be done at value supported by valuation report signed by a Registered Valuer. If Registered Valuers assign the value at face value then the transfer can be done without any problem else you may face additions from the IT department.
