Dear Rajeev,

It applies to the above refered case.

Go through the following for better understanding -

Section 56(2)(viib) of the Income tax Act ('the Act') provides that where a closely held company issues shares to a resident, for an amount received in excess of the fair market value of the shares, then the said excess portion will be regarded as income of the Company and charged to tax under the head ‘Income from other sources’. The said fair market value is defined as higher of the value arrived at on the basis of the method prescribed under Rule 11UA of the Income-tax Rules, 1962 (‘the Rules’) or the value as substantiated by the Company to the satisfaction of the Assessing Officer under Explanation to section 56(2)(viib).
