FMV - Exercise Price = Taxable under salary
FMV will be considered as cost for capital gain
On sale of shares :
Sale Consideration
( FMV on the date of sale)
- Cost (FMV on the date of exercise)
----------------
Capital Gain
-----------------
Hope this is correct.

Yes, if anything in excess. But there would be huge liability of tax under 'Salary'. So check form 16 and act accordingly.
There is no excess tax but it is due to exercise of ESOPS..
The TDS gets deducted based on Tax liability only. So, Huge income.... Huge TDS.... after all it need to to be adjusted against tax liability & if excess, claim refund...
But you said it can be deferred.. Any concession by deferring it and how it works ?
Yes, but it would be tax liability, even after adjusting TDS. This liability in case of eligible startups has been deferred.
- Budget 2020 amendment – From the FY 2020-21, an employee receiving ESOPs from an eligible start-up need not pay tax in the year of exercising the option. The TDS on the ‘perquisite’ stands deferred to earlier of the following events:
- Expiry of five years from the year of allotment of ESOPs
- Date of sale of the ESOPs by the employee
- Date of termination of employment
It's not start up but Listed public company.
Will your answer change ?

Yes, need to pay the balance tax, if any, in the previous year of exercising option.
Company has already deducted tax and additional amount collected from employee for additional tax on ESOPs
Company has deducted TDS as per slab rate of its employee.
Now while filing ITR there can be additional tax liability over the aggregate income, or there can be refund; depends upon his/her other income declarations.
Since ESOPs is part of form 16 , company has deducted additional tds . There is no additional tax liability.
There is no way for refund since the tax is rightly deducted
There is no way for refund since the tax is rightly deducted
