Transfer Pricing Documentation
Transfer pricing isn’t just about how you price transactions. It’s about how well you can explain and defend those prices.
And that’s exactly what documentation does.
At N D Savla & Associates, we don’t create bulky reports that sit on a shelf. We prepare clear, structured documentation that actually helps you during assessments, not just at the time of filing.
What this really means for you
If your business has international or specified domestic transactions, maintaining transfer pricing documentation is not optional.
You’re expected to:
Justify your pricing with proper analysis
Maintain supporting documents
File the required reports within timelines
If documentation is weak or missing, the risk is immediate:
Income adjustments
Penalties
Detailed scrutiny from tax authorities
Good documentation doesn’t eliminate scrutiny, but it puts you in control when it happens.
What goes into Transfer Pricing Documentation
This isn’t just one report. It’s a combination of analysis, data, and reasoning.
A well-prepared file typically includes:
Overview of your business and group structure
Details of related-party transactions
Functional Analysis (what you do, what risks you take, what assets you use)
Selection of the most appropriate transfer pricing method
Benchmarking analysis with comparable companies
Financial analysis and conclusions
Everything needs to connect logically. That’s where most documentation fails.
Where businesses usually get stuck
Reports are copied from previous years without updates
Transactions don’t match agreements or actual conduct
Benchmarking is weak or inconsistent
Documentation is prepared just to “complete compliance”
This is exactly what leads to questions during assessments.

F.A.Q.
Yes. If you have applicable international or specified domestic transactions, maintaining documentation is required under tax laws.
It includes business overview, transaction details, functional analysis, method selection, benchmarking, and financial analysis.
It is a report certified by a Chartered Accountant that must be filed for transfer pricing transactions along with your income tax return.
Ideally during the financial year or before filing returns, not after receiving a notice.
You may face penalties, income adjustments, and increased scrutiny during assessments.
We prepare complete, well-structured documentation that is not only compliant but also defensible when questioned by tax authorities.
