Since the share prices have almost doubled compared to fist half of 2009, Now who ever need to exercise the options need to pay more tax for the ESOPS not yet exercised even though they are vested in 2008. Also even if we are not realizing the profits, why should we pay the tax for the income/profit which is not yet come to me and also no guaranteed as the share prices can vary to any extent positeve or negative.
