Since the assessee’s operations are efficient enough to obtain more profits and since the receipts are at arm’s length and there is no passing of excess profits by the parent company (AE) to the assessee, the Assessing Officer’s action in restricting the profits is not correct. Also there is no reason to restore it to the Assessing Officer since there is nothing else to examine. Accordingly, grounds of the assessee are allowed and the Assessing Officer is directed to treat the profits declared by the assessee as ordinary profits and allow deduction under section 10A, without any further adjustment.
