CIT v. MSS India (P.) Ltd. (2009) 32 SOT 132 (Pune), a Co-
ordinate Bench of this Tribunal, speaking through one of us
(i.e. the AM), had, inter alia, observed that "While there is
no particular order or priority of methods which the
assessee must follow, and no method can invariably be
considered to be more reliable than others, on a conceptual
note, transactional profit methods (i.e., TNMM and profit
split method) are treated as methods of last resort which
are pressed into service only when the standard methods,
which are also termed as 'traditional methods' (i.e., CUP
method, resale price method and cost plus method) cannot
be reasonably applied". It was noted by the Coordinate
Bench that the OECD Guidelines also recognize this
approach, and the Bench expressed its considered
agreement with this approach. We are in considered
agreement with the views so expressed by the Co-ordinate
Bench. In our considered view, the traditional transaction
methods have an inherent edge over the traditional profit
methods in most of the situations, and, therefore, wherever
both the methods can be applied in an equally reliable
manner, traditional transaction methods are to be preferred
over traditional profit methods.

18. The first thing we have noticed is that the assessee has determined arm's length
price of its transactions with the AEs by comparing average export price by the
assessee to its AEs with the average uncontrolled export price. This approach is
patently incorrect inasmuch as while under rule 10B (1)(a)(i), it is indeed open to
compute ALP on the basis of price charged in a comparable controlled transaction or
'a number of such transactions', but the arm's length price so computed is, under
rule 10B(1)(a)(iii), taken as arm's length price in respect of property transferred in
the international transaction. The expression 'the international transaction' referred
to in rule 10B(1)(a)(iii) is used in singular and does not permit taking into account,
unlike rule 10B(1)(a)(i), 'a number of such transactions'. While averaging is thus
permissible for the uncontrolled transactions, each international transaction is to be
taken on standalone basis. In our humble understanding, it is not open to the
assessee to compare the average price in his transactions with AEs with average
price in uncontrolled transactions. Dealing with a somewhat similar issue, though in
the context of cost plus method of ascertaining the arm's length price, a coordinate
bench of this Tribunal, in the case of Asstt. CIT v. Tara Ultimo (P.) Ltd. [2011] 47 SOT
