Dear Jyoti,
With the removal of FBT, ESOP are now taxed as Perq in the hands of Employee.
Difference between FMV on the day of exercise and Cost price paid by Employee is considered as Perq liable to tax under the head Salary.
In future when the same is sold the FMV on the day of exercise (Which was considered as for calculation of Perq) will be taken as Cost price of the Shares.
