10 November 2014 You can set it right provided the terms of PAYMENT so provide. The company should give you the details as to the terms of payment.

10 November 2014 Dont set it off if it is holding and subsidiary company transaction, for the simple reason of transfer pricing provisions.

10 November 2014 It is recomendatory in nature that since TP provisions are applicable, dont set it off.
