Pradeep at the time of hearing submitted that only two issues are arising for adjudication. He submitted that one issue is relating to reallocation of trading expenses to 10A and non-10A units and the other issue is relating to the determination of Arm Length Price (ALP) by Transfer Pricing Officer (TPO), which has been confirmed by the DRP. 3.
