Transfer Pricing – Super-normal profit cos must be excluded from comparables. DRP must not pass cursory / laconic orders

January 26, 2011 943 Views 0 comment Print

It is undisputed that these three companies have shown supernormal comparable profits as compared to the other comparable. There exclusion from the list of comparable is quite correct. By excluding these three companies from the comparables and showing the computation on the basis of TPO data the arithmetic mean of OP/OC to 17.15% which falls within the +-5% range as permitted by section 92(C)(2). Hence, we find considerable cogency in the arguments of the ld. counsel of the assessee in this regard. We further find that assessee has made voluminous submissions including paper books before the DRP who has passed a very cursory and laconic order without going into the details of the submissions. We find that this is quite contrary to the mandate of section 144C of the IT Act.

Kurma is sold in open market and sale proceed has already been credited by the assessee in the books of account. According to the assessee, the actual wast
