2016 (12) TMI 1408 - BOMBAY HIGH COURTTransfer pricing adjustment - Tribunal held that the TPO has applied the transfer pricing adjustment to all transactions, i.e. entity level - Held that:- We are in respectful agreement with the view of the Delhi High Court in Keihin Panalfa Ltd. (2016 (5) TMI 203 - DELHI HIGH COURT ). One must not loose sight of the fact that the transfer pricing adjustment is done under Chapter X of the Act. The mandate therein is only to redetermine the consideration received or given to arrive at income arising from for International Transactions with Associated Enterprises. This is particularly so as in respect of transaction with non Associated Enterprises, Chapter X of the Act is not triggered to make adjustment to considerations received or paid unless they are Specified Domestic Transactions. The transaction with non-Associated Enterprises are presumed to be at arms length as there is no relationship which is likely to influence the price. If the contention of the Revenue is accepted, it would lead to artificial increase in the profits of transactions entered into with non Associated Enterprises by applying the margin at entity level which is not the object of Chapter X of the Act. Absence of segmental accounting is not an insurmountable issue, as proportionate basis could be adopted as done by the Delhi High Court in Keihin Panalfa Ltd. (supra). Thus no substantial question of law arises.
