FAQ :
The CBDT has redefined 'intra-group loan' to exclude credit lines and loans without fixed repayment terms, and clarified conditions for related parties, guarantees, and back-to-back arrangements. It has also outlined new 'safe harbour' conditions for interest rates, documentation, and use of funds.
The amendments to Rules 10TA and 10TD are effective from April 1, 2024.
The new definition excludes credit lines and loans that do not have fixed repayment terms. It also clarifies transactions involving guarantees and back-to-back arrangements, and simplifies conditions for determining related parties.
The safe harbour conditions require the loan interest rate to be at arm's length, using internationally accepted methodologies or a credit rating from any agency. Proper documentation must be maintained, and loan funds must be used for bona fide business purposes within the group.
These amendments apply to intra-group loans entered into or renewed after April 1, 2024. Existing loans may need to be reviewed and potentially restructured to comply with the new rules.
