The provision says that when a closely held company (i.e. A company in which shares are held by a small number of shareholders) issues shares at a price which exceeds the Fair Value of shares then the difference between Issue Price and Fair Value is taxable under the head IFOS. However this will only take place when Issue Price of shares is above the Face Value.  Let’s understand this by some examples. 1) Face Value - 10 , Issue Price - 15 , Fair Value - 13 , Income = 15-13 = 2 2) Face Value - 10 , Issue Price - 7 , Fair Value - 6 , Income = NIL 3) Face Value - 10 , Issue Price - 11 , Fair Value - 8 , Income = 11-8 = 3 To summarise this you have 2 steps to perform.

The word 'review' means to re-examine and retrospective evaluation of the subject matter. In simple words , review means to inspect the work done by a CA Firm in current and past years. Therefore the term 'Peer Review' means review of the work done by a CA Firm by another CA ( From now onwards will be called Reviewer). Now a question may arise in your mind that who has appointed him to review the work ? The answer is a board setup by ICAI. ICAI has constituted a Peer Review Board.
