09 August 2017 SIR,
FROM WHICH FINANCIAL YEAR IT IS DISCONTINUED ?

25 July 2025 Regarding Specified Domestic Transactions (SDT) under section 40A(2)(b):

* Yes, transactions covered under section 40A(2)(b) **were considered as SDT** for transfer pricing purposes.

* However, **from the Financial Year 2016-17 (Assessment Year 2017-18) onwards**, transactions under section 40A(2)(b) **have been excluded** from the definition of Specified Domestic Transactions by amendment.

### Explanation:

* Earlier, certain payments disallowed under section 40A(2)(b) (like payments to related parties without proper consideration) were also included as SDTs for transfer pricing.
* But the Finance Act 2016 (effective from FY 2016-17) **excluded 40A(2)(b) transactions from SDT**.

### Summary:

| Financial Year | Inclusion of 40A(2)(b) transactions in SDT? |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| Up to FY 2015-16 | Yes, included |
| From FY 2016-17 onwards | No, excluded |

If you need, I can share the exact amendment details or references. Would you like that?
