Venture Capital Valuation & Dilution Mathematics
As of September 30, 2026, Section 56(2)(viib) ('Angel Tax') stands abolished for all classes of investors (resident and non-resident), enabling Indian startups to issue shares above Fair Market Value (FMV) without punitive tax burdens. However, an independent valuation report by an IBBI Registered Valuer or Merchant Banker remains mandatory under Section 62(1)(c) of the Companies Act 2013 and FEMA guidelines for FDI.
Founder Dilution is determined by multiplying initial founder shareholding by (Pre-Money ÷ Post-Money Valuation). When an ESOP pool is created prior to investment, existing shareholders absorb 100% of the option pool dilution.

Key Highlights & Capabilities
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between Pre-Money and Post-Money Valuation?
Pre-Money Valuation is the enterprise value of the startup before receiving incoming investment capital. Post-Money Valuation is the value immediately after the investment is injected (Post-Money = Pre-Money + Investment).
Is Angel Tax still applicable for startup fundraising in 2026?
No. The infamous 'Angel Tax' under Section 56(2)(viib) of the Income Tax Act was abolished, eliminating tax assessments on share premiums received by unlisted companies from Indian or foreign angel investors.
Why do I need a Registered Valuer report under the Companies Act 2013?
Under Section 62(1)(c) of the Companies Act and Rule 13 of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, any preferential allotment of shares or convertible debentures (CCPS) must be priced at or above the Fair Market Value certified by an IBBI Registered Valuer.
