right to apply for shares against the option vested in him in pursuance of the ESOS.

SEBI GRADE A 2020
IMPORTANT TERMS TO BE REMEMBERED
Under the Companies Act 2013, there shall be a minimum period of one year between grant
of options and vesting of options, hence the exercise period cannot be less than one year from
the date of grant of option.

For accounting purposes, employee share-based payment plans are classified into the
following categories:

→ Equity-settled: Under these plans, the employees receive shares.


→ Cash-settled: Under these plans, the employees receive cash based on the price (or value)
of the enterprise's shares.
→ Employee share-based payment plans with cash alternatives: Under these plans, either the
enterprise or the employee has a choice of whether the enterprise settles the payment in
cash or by issue of shares.
