Transfer Pricing (TP) is one of the most complex and closely monitored areas of taxation for multinational enterprises (MNEs) operating in India. The concept ensures that international or specified domestic transactions between related parties are conducted at arm’s length i.e., on terms comparable to those between independent entities. we help businesses achieve full transfer pricing compliance through expert-led studies, documentation, and representation support.
Our TP services begin with an in-depth functional analysis identifying the roles, risks, and assets of each related party involved in the transaction. Based on this analysis, we select the most appropriate pricing method (TNMM, CUP, CPM, etc.) in alignment with Indian TP rules and OECD guidelines.
We develop a robust Transfer Pricing Study Report (TPSR) containing benchmarking studies, comparables analysis, economic adjustments, and justification for pricing decisions. This documentation helps prevent adjustments, litigation, and penalties in case of audits or scrutiny from tax authorities.
Our team assists with the preparation and timely submission of Form 3CEB, mandatory for international transactions above specified thresholds. We also advise on Master File and Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) requirements applicable to large MNE groups under the BEPS framework.
In addition to compliance documentation, we offer TP planning and strategy services helping businesses set appropriate transfer prices, design intercompany agreements, and align TP policies with commercial realities.

Transfer pricing refers to the pricing of transactions between associated enterprises, such as a parent company and its subsidiaries. It is applicable to companies that engage in cross-border transactions with related parties or have specified domestic related-party dealings exceeding prescribed thresholds.
A TPSR justifies that your intercompany transactions are at arm’s length as per Indian tax laws. It provides detailed documentation including function-risk analysis, benchmarking, and pricing method selection, which protects against TP adjustments, penalties, and scrutiny.
Form 3CEB is a tax compliance form that must be filed by every taxpayer having international or specified domestic transactions with related parties. It needs to be certified by a Chartered Accountant and submitted along with the income tax return.
We perform a comparability and benchmarking analysis using publicly available financial data and databases like Prowess, Capitaline, etc. We apply methods such as TNMM, CUP, RPM, or Profit Split depending on the transaction nature and available data.
These are additional documentation requirements under OECD’s BEPS Action Plan for multinational groups. Master File gives group-level data, while CbCR provides country-wise income, tax, and business activity data. These are required for Indian entities if the group’s consolidated revenue exceeds INR 500 crore (Master File) and EUR 750 million (CbCR).
