Exploring ESOPs for Unlisted Companies: Steps, Benefits, and Key Requirements for Success

What are the steps we should take if we want to implement an ESOP model in an unlisted company? How is ESOP beneficial for an organization with 200 employees? What are the basic requirements we need to follow if we want to implement ESOPs? What is the vesting period, or what does vesting mean in ESOPs?

First, you need to have a scheme in accordance with the law. Based on the board meeting of your management, you can allocate stocks to your employees, deciding on the number you would like to offer, etc. According to the new income tax rules, you also need to pay Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) on Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs). There are plenty of websites that provide information about ESOPs.
