About Master File & Country-by-Country Reporting
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Indian entities of multinational groups file a master file (Form 3CEAA, now Form 56 under the 2025 Act) when consolidated group revenue exceeds ₹500 crore and related-party transactions cross set thresholds, and constituent entities of groups with consolidated revenue of ₹6,400 crore or more file or notify country-by-country reporting (Form 3CEAD, now Form 59). These give tax authorities a group-wide view of where profits, people and taxes sit.
Most Indian subsidiaries of foreign groups rely on the parent's CbCR filed abroad and only file an intimation in India, but the master file usually needs Indian filing with group information.
We coordinate with the group's tax team to prepare the Indian filings and intimations on time.
| Master file | Form 56 (formerly 3CEAA) |
|---|---|
| CbCR | Form 59 (formerly 3CEAD); group revenue ≥ ₹6,400 crore |
| Master file trigger | Group revenue > ₹500 crore plus transaction thresholds |
| Intimations | Where parent files CbCR abroad |
