Substantial interest w.r.t domestic transfer pricing

Hi Hitesh,

You need to consider transactions during the year. As section 92BA specifically states that transaction during the previous year exceeds 5 crore. Hence for the purpose of report and for the purpose of limit you need to consider whole year. Also it should be noted that if a person is holding more then 20% (substaintial interest) at any point of time will become related party for the purpose of Domestic TP.

Hence as per my view you need to disclose transaction for whole year.

Hello Bharat,

Thanks for the response.

I do consider the language adopted in drafting Sec.92BA.

Say for instance, the Investment by shareholder increases to 21%just before 31-03-2014 i.e. close of the FY.

In such type of situation its little difficult to agree to interpret that transaction for full year shall be covered instead of transactions w.e.f.  the date from when the substantial interes arose.

Hi Hitesh,

I agree it may not sound logical. but even if you see Diclosure under AS 18 we disclose transaction during the year even if the party is related is holding shares for single day. In my view the same logic will apply here and we need to disclose transaction for whole year.

Kindly reply if you have any other view.
