03
Treaty Planning
International Taxation & DTAA
India has Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements with over 90 countries. Correctly applying treaty provisions — and avoiding GAAR / PPT challenges — requires deep expertise. We advise on the most tax-efficient international structures, withholding tax positions and treaty entitlement.
90+ Treaties
DTAA Position Advisory
Analysis of treaty provisions, residency tie-breaker rules, withholding tax rates and beneficial ownership requirements for MNCs and NRIs.
Transfer Pricing
Arm's length pricing analysis, transfer pricing documentation (TP study / Master File / CbCR) and representation in TP assessments.
GAAR & BEPS Advisory
Principal purpose test analysis, BEPS action plan compliance and substance-based structuring to ensure international tax positions are defensible.
Why DTAA matters
Without proper treaty planning, cross-border service fees, dividends, royalties and capital gains can be taxed in both countries — often at rates of 20–40%. Correct treaty application can reduce withholding tax to 5–15%, or even zero in some cases.
04
Foreign Direct Investment

Why India is Complex

Multiple regulators.
One wrong move costs.

Cross-border transactions in India involve the Income Tax Act, FEMA, RBI Master Directions, DPIIT FDI policy, the Companies Act and sector-specific regulators — often simultaneously. An error in any one layer can trigger penalties, demands or transaction unwinding.
