Yes, domestic transactions are covered under Transfer Pricing in India under Specified Domestic Transactions (SDT). Here is the complete picture:

1. International Transfer Pricing (Section 92): Applies to transactions between associated enterprises where at least one party is a non-resident. This is the classic TP regime.

2. Specified Domestic Transactions (Section 92BA): From AY 2013-14, domestic transactions between related parties (where both are resident) are also subject to TP provisions if the aggregate value exceeds Rs. 20 crore in a financial year. Budget 2017 raised this threshold from Rs. 5 crore to Rs. 20 crore.

3. What Constitutes SDT:
- Transactions between two entities where one entity has more than 80% deduction under Section 80-IA, 80-IB, 80-IC etc. (tax holiday) and the other does not
- Payment to related parties covered under Section 40A(2)
- Transactions under Section 80-IA(8) or 80-IA(10)

4. Compliance Requirements: If SDT threshold is crossed:
- Maintain Transfer Pricing documentation (Section 92D)
- Get TP study/report prepared
- File Form 3CEB (Report from CA under Section 92E) before filing ITR
- Due date: Same as ITR due date for companies/entities liable for audit

5. Arm's Length Price Methods: CUP, RPM, Cost Plus, TNMM, Profit Split — same methods apply for SDT as for international TP.

6. Penalty: If SDT is not reported or price is not at arm's length, penalty of 2% of transaction value under Section 271AA applies.
