You claim to disclose “All about form 3CEB” but you didn’t even tell how to file it and where.
In this case, provisions created in relation to the management allocation charges will also be disclosed in form 3CEB?
For an Foreign Subsidiary which has no transactions for that respective financial year. I wanted to know whether is it necessary to file Nil Return in 3CEB form and if any FEMA Compliance is required for the same as it has received Unique Identification Number From RBI and any RBI Compliance for the same
would like to point out that Setion 92BA (1) states any expenditure. It does not state Revenue Expenditure. This means that Even Capital Expenditure is covered.
Yes , it dosnt specify type of expenditure so both revenue and capital will be covered.
I think even fellow subsidiary companies too are covered and not only the entity having more than 20% holding.
