Grateful to Shri Pitambar Das, JS TPL-II, Shri Pankaj Jindal, JS TPL-I, and senior officials from Customs, whose insights and engagement greatly enriched the discussion.

Our discussions with the Chair and his team were highly constructive, and we appreciate their thoughtful consideration of the Forum’s inputs.

Welcomed conversations to further technical engagement, particularly on simplifying Safe Harbour Rules, prioritizing certain APA categories to enhance efficiency, facilitating APA processes for specific GCC structures, and providing clearer guidance on the new block assessment framework.

We look forward to continued collaboration with the Ministry of Finance to strengthen India’s tax ecosystem and promote a more predictable, efficient, and investment-friendly environment.

Thankful to our knowledge partners KPMG India.
