- This provides the I-T Department with a better operational view of such companies, primarily with regards to revenue and income tax paid.

- As a result, Indian constituent entities of international groups headquartered in the USA, who have already filed CbC Reports in the USA, would not be required to do local filing of the CbC Reports of their international groups in India and vice versa.
