Section 56(2)(viib) of IT Act provides that if a company issues shares at premium at a price higher than fair market value, same will be chargeable to tax as other income.  It applies to issue of shares by a company and not to transfer of shares.

 

what if the shares are issued at discount?
for example Rs. 100,000,000 (ten crores) being issued at RS. 1,000,000(ten lakh).

You can issue a discount also. But in that case cost of acquisition for the buyer will be less and there will be more capital gain when shares are sold.
