IDS- from the Rules

• Registered Valuer: person so regtd under section 34AB of the Wealt tax Act

• Valuation rules – somewhat similar to Rule 11UA for valuation of gifts in kind being immovable or movable property

• Unquoted equity shares: value derived from formula using BV of A&L on 01.06/2016

IDS – from the Rules

• For valuation of unquoted share or security, Other than equity share:

- COA or FMV on 01.04.16, basis valuation report of “registered valuer”

- If one looks at qualifications of “registered valuer” under Rule 8A of Wealth Tax Act,

- One wonders if it should have been “Merchant Banker”



IDS – from the Rules

• Investment in asset from income which was partly disclosed – Proportionate amount to be included

• Procedures / formats / standards for ensuring secure capture & transmission of data ??



“ We have what it takes, to take what you have” is probably the sentiment

Wonder what is in store post 30.09.16. once the time limit for IDS ends
