The form covers international transactions, deemed international transactions, and specified domestic transactions, including the purchase and sale of goods, transfer of assets, royalty arrangements, capital financing, corporate guarantees, services, and business restructuring.
Assessees must disclose a list of Associated Enterprises, their country of residence, PAN/TIN or unique identifier, and the nature of their relationship. Both international and specified domestic AEs need to be reported separately.
