About this market

Market context

Transfer Pricing in India refers to the compliance and strategic management of pricing for transactions between associated enterprises (AEs) to ensure they adhere to the arm's length principle. This aims to prevent profit shifting and ensure a fair allocation of taxable income within India.

India's Transfer Pricing regulations are enshrined in Sections 92 to 92FZ of the Income Tax Act, 1961, and associated rules. These rules mandate extensive documentation (Form 3CEB), annual reporting, and an arm's length analysis for all international transactions and specified domestic transactions exceeding INR 15 crore (approximately USD 1.8 million). The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) is the primary regulatory body, and the Income Tax Department conducts audits, often leading to adjustments and appeals.
