Do these related-party dealings need transfer-pricing work, and what documentation will I receive?
Transfer pricing applies to international transactions with associated enterprises, and to specified domestic transactions above ₹20 crore. Where the aggregate value of international transactions exceeds ₹1 crore, the prescribed documentation must be kept, and every entity with such transactions files an accountant’s report (Form 3CEB) by the due date (the Income-tax Act, 1961 for tax years up to 2025-26; the corresponding provisions of the Income-tax Act, 2025 from tax year 2026-27). Large groups also file a master file and country-by-country report. You receive a transfer-pricing study that maps each transaction, analyses functions, assets and risks, selects the method, benchmarks against comparable companies, and concludes on the arm’s length price, together with the certified report. If the price is adjusted in assessment, we support the objection and appeal.
