1. Amendment in calculation of FMV u/s 50CA
The existing provision of section 50CA of the Income Tax Act provides for special provision for full value of consideration for transfer of share other than quoted share. The said section provides that where the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer by an assessee of a capital asset, being share of a company other than a quoted share, is less than the fair market value of such share determined in such manner as may be prescribed, the value so determined shall, for the purposes of computing capital gains, be deemed to be full value of consideration received or accruing as a result of such transfer.
