Let me give an example
Mr.X receives 100 shares under ESOP from his employer free of cost. His employer has included this under fringe benefits to the tune of Rs. 15000 and included the perquisite u/s 17(2) as Salary Income. If Mr. X exercises the option and sells the shares at Rs. 120 each, then
1. what is the cost of aquisition ?
2. What is the amount of capital gains ( assuming short term)?
