Knorr-Bremse India Pvt. Ltd. vs. ACIT (P&H HC) A reading of the orders of the TPO, the DRP and of the Tribunal makes it clear that one of the main reasons for not accepting the assessee’s case was that the assessee had not been able to substantiate that the payment for the services had actually increased its profits.
The Finance (No. 2) Act, 2014 proposed to introduce a more streamlined method to compute Arm’s Length Price (ALP) in a situation where more than one price is determined, on adoption of Most Appropriate Method(MAM). The first and second provisos were made redundant for all transactions undertaken on or after 01/04/2014. This was done so as to remove the vagueness that prevailed in the computation of ALP, by way of arithmetic mean.
