|
Particulars |

|
1) Risk-free interest rate |
7.046% |

* Expected volatility has been determined based on closing price of the share of the company over a period of 5 years.
IND AS 102 âShare-based Paymentâ issued by ICAI governs accounting for ESOPs. It specifies use of Fair Value method for valuation of Options. For calculation of Fair Value, it recommends use any binomial option pricing model.
The key assumptions of the Black-Scholes model are:
- The price of the underlying instrumentfollowsa geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and volatility, and the prices changes are log-normally distributed;
- It is possible to short sell the underlying stock.
- There are no arbitrage opportunities.
- Trading in the stock is continuous.
- There are no transaction costs or taxes.
- All securities are perfectly divisible (e.g. it is possible to buy any fraction of a share).
- It is possible to borrow and lend cash at a constant risk-free interest rate.
Following variables are used in the calculation of Black-Scholes model:
- Volatility
- Risk free interest rate
- Expected option life
- Expected dividend yield
- Market price and
- Exercise price
Except for dividend yield and exercise price all variables have direct impact on option value as derived using Black-Scholes model.
As per IND AS 102, fair value of an option estimated at the grant date shall not be subsequently adjusted for changes in the price of the underlying stock or its volatility, the life of the option, dividends on the stock, or the risk-free interest rate etc.
As per IND AS 102:
a. I n respect of options granted during any accounting period, the accounting value of the options shall be treated as another form of employee compensation in the financial statements of the company.
b. The accounting value of options shall be equal to the aggregate, over all employee stock options granted during the accounting period, of the fair value of the option.
c. The Fair Value of a stock option is the price that shall be calculated for that option in an arm''s length transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller. The fair value shall be estimated using an option-pricing model (for example, the Black-Scholes or a binomial model) that considers as of the grant date the exercise price and expected life of the option, the current price in the market of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock, and the risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option. The fair value of an option estimated at the grant date shall not be subsequently adjusted for changes in the price of the underlying stock or its volatility, the life of the option, dividends on the stock, or the risk-free interest rate.
d. Where the accounting value is accounted for as employee compensation in accordance with âb'', the amount shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
e. When an unvested option lapses by virtue of the employee not conforming to the vesting conditions after the accounting value of the option has already been accounted for as employee compensation, this accounting treatment shall be reversed by a credit to employee compensation expense equal to the amortized portion of the accounting value of the lapsed options and a credit to deferred employee compensation expense equal to the unamortized portion.
f. When a vested option lapses on expiry of the exercise period, after the fair value of the option has already been accounted for as employee compensation, this amount shall be transferred to Reserves & Surplus.
The Company has granted Options on January 23, 2024.
The Options granted vest in graded manner over a period of 5
years. Black-Scholes option pricing model has been used for
evaluation of the fair value of Option as on the date of grant.
