determine the Arms Length price and compute the total income of the assessee accordingly, subject to the conditions provided therein.
Comparable uncontrolled price method:- CUP method compares the price transferred in a controlled transaction to the price charged in a comparable un-controlled transaction. CUP method is the most direct and reliable way to apply the arms length principle. Resale price method:- The resale price method begins with the price at which a product is resold to an independent enterprise (IE)by an associate enterprise. X sold to associated enterprise at Rs.1000 (profit Rs.300) AE sold to Independent enterprise at Rs. 2000 (Profit of Rs.500 for relevant IE) Arms Length Price: 2000-500=1500 Profit Spilt Method:- PSM is used when transactions are interrelated and is not possible to evaluate separately. PSM first identifies the profit to be split for the AE. The profit so determined is split between the AE on the basis of the functions performed/assets/CE. Cost Plus Method:- In CP method, first the cost incurred is determined. An appropriate cost plus mark-up is then added to the cost to arrive at an appropriate profit. The resultant figure is the arms length price. Transactional Net Margin Method

Note:1. The assessing officer shall not make any adjustment to the arms length price determined by the tax payer, if such price is up to 5% less or 5% more than the price determined by the A.O. In such cases the price determined by the taxpayer may be accepted. 2. The power to determine arms length price in an international transaction is contained in sub section (3) of section 92C. However section 92CA provides that where the assessing officer considers it necessary or expedient so to do, he may refer the computation of arms length price in relation to international transaction to the TPO (transfer pricing officer).
