One of the changes is the introduction of scale-based thresholds for determining material Related Party Transaction (RPT). Under the revised framework, thresholds will now depend on the annual consolidated turnover of the listed entity.
For entities with turnover up to Rs 20,000 crore, materiality will be set at 10% of consolidated turnover. For turnover between Rs 20,001–40,000 crore, the threshold will be Rs 2,000 crore plus 5% of turnover above Rs 20,000 crore.
For companies with turnover above Rs 40,000 crore, the RPT limit will be Rs 3,000 crore plus 2.5% of turnover above Rs 40,000 crore or Rs 5,000 crore, whichever is lower.
