Cummins India Ltd.,, Pune vs Addl. Comm.Of Income-Tax, Pune on 21 August, 2017
Applying the said proposition laid down
by the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi in Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications
India Pvt. Ltd. Vs. CIT (supra), we hold that accepting the aggregation
approach of the assessee of its transactions under the manufacturing activity,
we hold that while applying TNNM method, the margins of assessee company
are to be compared with the margins of external comparables. However,
since the TPO had not verified this factum of comparison with external
comparables, we direct the Assessing Officer / TPO to consider the case of
assessee and determine the arm's length price and re-compute adjustment, if
any, in the hands of assessee on account of international transactions. It may
be pointed herein itself that the adjustments were made in the hands of
assessee in HHP division and no adjustment was made in LHP division.
Consequently, the grounds of appeal No.1.1, 2 and 3 are decided as indicated
above.
