Royalty is particularly related to a IPR and any one can have and utilize this, merely a person who has IPR and meanwhile partner in a firm does not restrict to firm the use of this IPR on arms length price, stopping to firm to use this IPR is against the natural justice, so a partner can allow to firm the publish the books and in response to this firms may pay this partner royalty on arms length price basis.In my opinion this will be allowable expenditure in PGBP and Royalty income under the hand of beneficiary of this IPR.
