"She (SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch) between 2017 and 2024 was taking regular income of Rs 16 crore 80 lakhs from ICICI Bank," alleged Pawan Khera, at the press briefing. The congress spokesperson also alleged that Buch received a total of Rs 16.80 crore between 2017-18 to 2023-24, from ICICI Bank, ICICI Prudential, <keyword id="20043663" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ESOPs" source="keywords">ESOPs</keyword>, and <keyword id="19948097" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="TDS" source="keywords">TDS</keyword> on ESOPs. According to the Congress' allegations, in 2017-18 the SEBI chief allegedly received Rs 2.06 crore from ICICI Bank as salary and Rs 7 lakh from ICICI Prudential. In 2018-19, she received Rs 4.71 crore from ICICI Bank, Rs 2.17 lakh from ICICI Prudential. In 2019-20, Rs 1.21 crore from ICICI Bank and Rs 2.17 lakh from ICICI Prudential. In 2020-21, she was alleged of having received Rs 4.64 crore from ICICI Bank and Rs 2.17 lakh ICICI Prudential. In 2021-22, Congress asserted that the salary stopped from ICICI Bank but she continued to receive Rs 2.17 lakh from ICICI Prudential, also same year she received ESOP and TDS on ESOP from ICICI Bank. In 2022-23, she was alleged to have received Rs 4.44 lakh from ICICI Prudential, in addition to ESOP and TDS on ESOP, In 2023-24, she was alleged to have received Rs 2.17 from ICICI Prudential. The Congress further alleges that during this period, Buch also drew a salary from SEBI as a whole-time member and later as the Chairperson. Khera further added that several probes on ICICI Bank were being adjudicated during this period when Madhabi Puri Buch was receiving income from the group. He also cited unnamed reports to claim that the SEBI chief has relaxed norms for the ICICI Bank. "The person sitting at the top of the regulator is taking salaries from another entity," Khera alleged, adding it was a perfect case of "office for profit". "So we want to know why you were taking your salary from ICICI despite being a full-time member of SEBI?," Khera asked what service she as the SEBI Chairperson provided the bank when she was part of SEBI. "This is a direct violation of Section 54 of SEBI. Therefore, if Madhabi Puri Buch has any shame, she should resign from her post," Khera added. The SEBI Chief is yet to react to the charges made by the Congress in Monday's news conference. Madhabi Puri Buch was a whole-time member of SEBI from April 5, 2017 to October 4, 2021. Then on March 2, 2022, Madhabi Puri Buch became the Chairperson of SEBI. Recently, US-based short seller Hindenburg Research made allegations against her accusing her of conflict of interest. Last month, Hindenburg Research alleged that SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch and her husband Dhaval Buch had stakes in "both the obscure offshore entities used in the Admoney siphoning scandal." Hindenburg Research said it has made the new allegations based on documents provided by a whistleblower and investigations carried out by other entities. Soon after, the SEBI Chairperson and her husband, in their personal capacity, issued a detailed statement rejecting the allegations. In the joint statement released to the media they said, "In the context of allegations made in the Hindenburg Report dated August 10, 2024, against us, we would like to state that we strongly deny the baseless allegations and insinuations made in the report. The same are devoid of any truth. Our life and finances are an open book. All disclosures as required have already been furnished to SEBI over the years. We have no hesitation in disclosing any and all financial documents, including those that relate to the period when we were strictly private citizens, to any and every authority that may seek them. Further, in the interest of complete transparency, we would be issuing a detailed statement in due course." "It is unfortunate that Hindenburg Research against whom SEBI has taken an Enforcement action and issued a show cause notice has chosen to attempt character assassination in response to the same," the statement from Madhabi Buch and her husband Dhaval Buch read.

In recent news Swiggy announced that it will buy back shares worth $50 million from employees. Also, Paytm granted 1.7 million new ESOPs to employees. A few weeks ago Flipkart announced a $700 million ESOPs payout. However, the world of ESOPs may not all be as rosy as it seems at first glance. ESOPs work in a certain way and there are a lot of factors which need to fall into place before an employee can make a profit out of them. Therefore, one needs to understand that with start-ups coming under a lot of pressure due to an uncertain economic scenario and a funding crunch, have ESOPs lost their charm? “ ESOPs are often offered to outstanding performers to foster a sense of ownership, and nowadays, start-ups use them as a means to attract and retain top talent. However, it is essential to be aware that some companies might also offer ESOPs to compensate for situations when they cannot offer competitive salaries,’ says Anjali Raghuvanshi, Chief People Officer, Randstad India, a HR consulting firm. What this essentially means is that when taking up a job offer, do note if ESOPs are a part of the salary package as this may come at the cost of foregoing some salary. It is important to understand two major risks associated with ESOPs. Let us take a look. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="You would need to fork out money upfront" comment="subhead" text="You would need to fork out money upfront">You would need to fork out money upfront</cmsannotation> Here is where owning ESOPs can get tricky. “There are two up-front costs you have to bear when you are exercising your ESOP options. The first cost is the amount you pay the company for those ESOPs,” says BM Singh, ESOP Expert &amp; Managing Partner, BMSA, a consulting firm. Suppose an employee is granted 1,000 ESOP options by a company. The exercise price or strike price of each option is ₹100. This means that the employee can purchase the company's shares at ₹100 per share at a future date, regardless of the market price at that time. Now, let's assume that the market price of the company's shares increases to ₹150 when the employee decides to exercise their ESOP options. To exercise the options, the employee needs to pay the exercise price, which is ₹100 per share. The cost to the employee to exercise their ESOP options would be ₹100,000. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Additionally, there may be a tax implication" comment="subhead" text="Additionally, there may be a tax implication">Additionally, there may be a tax implication</cmsannotation> The next is the tax implication that arises here. If the ESOPs are granted at a value lower than the fair market value during vesting, there could be an extra tax burden, resulting in potential tax liabilities before fully realising the value of the ESOPs. “ESOPs are taxable in the hands of the employees as perquisite u/s 17(2) of the IT Act. The taxable amount of such perquisite would be the fair market value (FMV) of the shares (computed in accordance with Rule 3(8) of the IT Act) on the date of exercising such option less any amount paid by the employee for such ESOPs,” says Suresh Surana, Founder, RSM India, an audit, tax and consulting firm. In the above example, the employee would need to pay tax on the taxable amount of ₹50,000 at the applicable tax rate. The exact tax amount will depend on the individual's income tax slab rate. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="A bigger concern" comment="subhead" text="A bigger concern">A bigger concern</cmsannotation> Poor company performance and uncertainty of liquidity events may render ESOPs worthless. “If the company fails to perform well or lacks successful liquidity events, the potential returns on ESOPs may remain unrealised, potentially impacting the value of the effort and time invested over the years, “ says Raghuvanshi. The value of ESOPs is closely tied to the company's performance and growth potential. If the company's value decreases, it can negatively impact the value of your stock options, potentially making it challenging to sell your shares at a profit. Hence, it is important for an employee to evaluate the future prospects and growth of a company before making a decision to exercise the option. When an employee exercises the options, he should have trust in the company's future growth and performance. “The employee should also be aware about the exit possibilities in case of unlisted shares i.e. buyback track record, funding rounds etc,” says Akhil Chandna, Partner, Tax, Grant Thornton Bharat, a professional services firm. When exercising ESOPs, it is thus essential to conduct a thorough assessment of the company's current performance and financial well-being. This evaluation helps the employee make informed decisions about exercising their options. “Any significant changes since joining could impact the decision,” says Raghuvanshi. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Risk of ESOPs are higher in an early stage start-up" comment="subhead" text="Risk of ESOPs are higher in an early stage start-up">Risk of ESOPs are higher in an early stage start-up</cmsannotation> If a start-up is bootstrapped or in the idea phase, the risks are higher. In that case ESOPs are merely paper money. As the different rounds happen, the value of the ESOPs and the probability of liquidity increases. “You should see at which stage of the start-up you are entering. At each phase the value of ESOPs is different. So if you are joining a company just on the basis of ESOPs and not getting a reasonable salary and the company is in its early stages, then you should also focus on the cash component,” says Singh. If it has reached the Series A or Series B funding stage, then you can consider the value of ESOPs when joining and can consider it an important part of your salary package.

ESOPs are extensively employed by corporations worldwide to incentivize employees to become stakeholders in the company. By offering employees the opportunity to own equity in the company, ESOPs aim to align their performance and dedication with the organization's success. In recent years, ESOPs have gained significant popularity, particularly among startups, as an effective tool for attracting and retaining top talent. Startups leverage ESOPs to not only reward employees but also to create a sense of ownership and motivation, driving their commitment and contribution to the company's growth.We take a look at what you need to keep in mind when exercising your stock options. “Under ESOP, employers grant options to its employees which are exercisable against company’s shares at future date, on fulfillment of defined vesting conditions. For this purpose, the employee pays the exercise price (set as zero or less than fair market value (FMV)) at the time of exercise of shares in future. Therefore, no upfront costs are associated with ESOPs at the time of grant,” says Akhil Chandna, Partner, Tax, <keyword id="10410446" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="grant-thornton-bharat" source="Orion">Grant Thornton Bharat</keyword>, a professional services firm. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Understanding exercise options" comment="subhead" text="Understanding exercise options">Understanding exercise options</cmsannotation> “Most reputed companies have a vesting period of four years, with 25% of the ESOPs becoming eligible for exercise each year after the initial one-year cliff. This means that after the first year, employees can exercise 25% of their ESOPs and subsequently exercise 25% over the following three years on a monthly pro-rata basis,” says Ajinkya Kulkarni, Co-Founder, and CEO, <keyword id="12504599" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="wint-wealth" source="Orion">Wint Wealth</keyword>, an online investment platform focussed on fixed income products. There are two common types of approaches when it comes to exercise prices. The first approach sets the exercise price as the face value of the shares. Thus it is significantly cheaper for employees to purchase the shares. The second approach involves the employee paying the market value of the shares at the time of exercising the option, where the exercise price would be higher. Employee-friendly companies may offer an exercise period of up to 10 years after the employee leaves the organization, providing greater liquidity opportunities for employees. “A sufficient exercise window is crucial since the notional gains from exercising an option are immediately taxable for employees, even though the actual wealth is realized upon liquidation of the shares,” says Kulkarni. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What to keep in mind when exercising options" comment="subhead" text="What to keep in mind when exercising options">What to keep in mind when exercising options</cmsannotation> When exercising an option see if there is a condition that the option will lapse if you do not exercise. “Then you should exercise. But if there is an option that it will be carried forward, there is no need to exercise immediately,” says <keyword id="5754055" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="bm-singh" source="Orion">BM Singh</keyword>, ESOP Expert &amp; Managing Partner, BMSA Consultancy. The actual value of ESOPs in a company is closely tied to its future performance and market valuations. Even if ESOPs hold a significant monetary value on paper, if the company's performance is poor, their true benefits may be limited. It is crucial to consider the company's financial health and growth prospects when assessing the worth of ESOPs. Ultimately, ESOPs are most advantageous when granted by companies with strong performance and promising future prospects.Therefore, employees should conduct thorough background research before accepting an offer that includes a substantial ESOP component. Chandna says that in the case of listed companies where the market value of the share is lower than the predetermined price in ESOP, the employee should not exercise the option. For unlisted companies, the employee should also research the company’s buyback track record during the vesting period and whether the company will raise capital through a funding round etc, to know the exit possibilities. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Tax implications at the time of exercise" comment="subhead" text="Tax implications at the time of exercise">Tax implications at the time of exercise</cmsannotation> Taxability of ESOPs first occurs at the time of exercising the options, where the perquisite value of the ESOPs is deemed taxable under the category of 'salary' in the hands of the employees. When employees exercise their ESOPs, the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price is treated as a taxable perquisite. This value is added to the employee's salary and subject to applicable income tax regulations. “Please note that the taxable value of perquisite would be computed basis the date of exercise of options /units, however, the same would be taxable in the year in which shares are actually allotted/ transferred to the employees,” says Chandna. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;" class="redcator-table-advance"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Name of employee </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">A </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Grant date of ESOP </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">1 April 2023 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Vesting date of ESOP </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">1 April 2024, 1 April 2025 (50% at each date) </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Exercise date of ESOP/date of allotment of shares </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">1 April 2026 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">FMV as on Exercise date i.e. 1 April 2026 </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹1,000 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Exercise price </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹100 </td></tr></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody></table> In the above illustration, the taxability would arise in the hands of Mr. A on exercise date i.e. 1 April 2026 (FY 2026-27).

You can sell a portion of the shares obtained through exercising your ESOPs right away. The proceeds from the sale can be used to cover the costs associated with exercising, including any taxes owed. This strategy effectively lowers your out-of-pocket expenses by utilizing the funds generated from selling the shares. “Let us say that you are entitled to exercise 50 shares. If you get a chance to sell 10 shares in the secondary market, then you can sell the shares and cover the expenses from the proceeds,” says Singh. By creating a budget and developing a financial plan, you can ensure that you have the necessary funds for exercising ESOPs while minimizing your out-of-pocket expenses. Through careful financial management, such as setting aside money in advance or reallocating your financial resources, you can mitigate the impact on your personal expenses when it comes time to exercise your ESOPs.
