Transfer Pricing Audit & Litigation Support

Our in-house lawyers and senior Chartered Accountants represent clients at every stage of a transfer pricing dispute โ€” from the first TPO notice to the final ITAT order.

Overview

Litigation-tested representation, not just documentation review

A transfer pricing dispute can move through multiple forums โ€” the Transfer Pricing Officer, the Dispute Resolution Panel, the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), and the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. Each requires a distinct strategy, and consistency across all of them.

FAQs

Common questions

What is the Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP)? +
The DRP is a collegium of senior tax officers that reviews objections to a draft assessment order before it is finalised, offering a faster alternative to a first appeal.
What is a secondary adjustment under Section 92CE? +
Where a primary TP adjustment is accepted or upheld, Section 92CE can deem the resulting excess money to be an advance requiring repatriation, or subject to notional interest if not repatriated within the prescribed time.
