Ans: To calculate the new acquisition price and Fair Market Value (FMV) of equity shares in a demerged company, follow these steps:
1. Determining FMV (for shares purchased before 31-01-2018)
- FMV is typically based on the highest price quoted on a recognized stock exchange on January 31, 2018.
- If the shares were not listed on that date, FMV is determined by a merchant banker or registered valuer.
2. Calculating the New Acquisition Price
The cost of acquisition of shares in the resulting company (post-demerger) is calculated using Section 49(2C) and 49(2D) of the Income Tax Act:
- Formula:
[ \text{Cost of acquisition of new shares} = \text{Cost of original shares} \times \left(\frac{\text{Net book value of assets transferred}}{\text{Net worth of demerged company before demerger}}\right) ]
- The remaining cost is adjusted for the original shares.
For example:
- If you held 100 shares of a company at ?50 each (total ?5,000) before demerger.
- The company states that 7.29% of the cost applies to the new entity.
- Then, the cost of acquisition for the new shares = ?5,000 × 7.29% = ?364.50.
- The revised cost of the original shares = ?5,000 - ?364.50 = ?4,635.50.
