The correct answer is

V is calculated based on concrete grade (f ) c ck

As per IS 456:2000 Limit State Method for shear design:

  • Design shear strength of concrete (τc) depends on: (1) percentage of tensile steel (pt = 100Ast/bd) and (2) concrete grade (fck)
  • Values of τc are given in Table 19 of IS 456, which varies with both pt and concrete grade
  • If applied shear stress τv < τc: No shear reinforcement needed
  • If τv > τc: Shear links/stirrups designed for (Vu − Vc)

Vc is NOT neglected entirely (it's a significant contribution) and is NOT equal to total shear force.
