ESOPs Taxation

For filing ITR, How should I treat/show the allotted Employee Stock Options by the parent multi national company, whose shares are listed on New York Stock Exchange ?? Pl. explain "Vesting" concept in this case. Thanks.

Summary: Vesting is the time-bound condition you must satisfy to earn your stock options. Tax-wise, you pay tax on the "perquisite" value (Salary income) when you exercise the options and on the "capital gains" (Profit) when you sell the shares. Ensure you report these in your ITR and keep records of exercise dates and FMVs to calculate your gains correctly.
