    options to its employees. The Fair Value per option on the Grant Date is ₹120. The options are subject to a 3-year service condition, vesting equally at the end of each year (graded vesting).

    A ₹6,00,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ₹1,20,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹2,00,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹4,00,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E ₹60,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    For equity-settled transactions, the expense for the company is fixed based on the Grant Date Fair Value . Total Expense: No. of ESOPs x Fair value on grant date = 5,000 options × 120 = Rs.6,00,000 .Since Vesting Period is 3 Years with equally vesting at end of each year, the total cost will be divided equally as Rs.6,00,000 / 3 = Rs.2,00,000 . FY 2024-25 (1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025), s ince one full year has passed, the company recognizes ₹2,00,000.
