Sweat Equity shares are those shares issued by a company to its directors or employees at a discount or for consideration other than cash, for providing know-how, or IPR, or value additions, by whatever name called. An ESOP (Employees Stock Option Plan) on the other hand is an option given to the employees to buy certain number of shares of the Company at a pre-determined price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the basic differences between Sweat Equity and ESOP is Sweat Equity can be issued for consideration other than cash while ESOP has to be issued only in lieu of cash.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What is Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP)?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/e\/esop.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP)<\/a> simply means a plan where the company grants options to their employees.<\/p>\n<p id=\"issue\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">While giving ESOP&#8217;s option, the selling shareholder and participants obtain numerous tax benefits.
