Guide to Comparability Analysis in Transfer Pricing Regulations in India

 This blog takes a brief look at the method of conducting a comparability analysis along with the challenges in the context of Indian Transfer Pricing regulations.

Meaning of Comparability Analysis
As per the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Comparability analysis involves identifying and comparing an uncontrolled transaction or company to the controlled transaction under review.
The primary objective of this analysis is to assess whether the conditions and economic circumstances surrounding the controlled transaction (transaction with related parties) align with those that would have existed between independent enterprises operating under comparable conditions. This analysis is essential to ensure that the terms of the transaction reflect an arm’s length standard, as would be expected in dealings between unrelated parties.


Need for Comparability Analysis
Comparability analysis is an important component of benchmarking, as it helps to set a base for selecting the most appropriate method of transfer pricing and determining the Arm’s Length Price (ALP) or Profit Level Indicator (PLI).
Further, it also involves thoroughly examining various factors, such as the Function performed, Assets employed and Risk Assumed (FAR Analysis) by the parties, that could influence a transaction’s pricing.
