Practically you can transfer at any price. Because your Profit & Loss account will be consolidated. If not than, the authority to whom you are submitting branch's P&L, can ask to comply Arms Length Pricing.

Since you consolidate the books of both branches, you can transfer the finished goods between branches **at any price** you choose. There’s no strict regulatory requirement to fix the transfer price at a particular level for internal branch transfers when consolidation is done.
**However, a few points to keep in mind:**
* The transfer price should ideally reflect a **reasonable value** (like cost or cost plus a markup) for proper internal control and inventory valuation.
* If the branches are in **different states**, and GST is applicable, the transfer will be treated as a **supply** and GST will apply at the applicable rates on the transfer price you decide.
* For internal management and audit purposes, it’s best to have a consistent policy (e.g., transfer at cost or cost plus a fixed margin) to avoid confusion.
Since you consolidate accounts, any profit or loss on transfer will get eliminated in consolidation, so the overall financial results won’t be distorted.
