Options

• Rs. 25 Crore

• Rs. 20 Crore

• Rs. 15 Crore

• Rs. 30 Crore

Answer 1

Rs. 25 Crore

Explanation:
The angel tax was introduced in the 2012-13 Budget. It is levied on start-ups that have received equity infusion in excess of the fair valuation, with the premium being paid by investors as their income. As per the recent turnover criteria of the Govt., a firm can be a startup even if its turnover for any of the financial years since its incorporation hasn’t exceeded ₹100 crores instead of the existing cap of ₹ 25 crores.
