It means that there should be two concerns between for having a close connection and one of them should be the Assessee. The other parties may be different for having close connection but one of the parties should be the Assessee. The word between refers to the two parties. Hence, the assessing officer is required to establish the close connection between the Assessee and the other parties. In the instant case, the assessing officer is making reference to the fact that two concerns are making exports to the same concern. In case, both the concerns are making export to the same concern then it does not show that the two concerns which are dealing with the other concern are having business between them.

From the working given by the Assessee/Revenue, it appears that no favour was made to M/s Pioneer Gems as in one particular item if the gross profit is more in the case of the associated concern then in certain other items the gross profit is less also. The assessing officer in the beginning itself has found GP rate declared by the Appellant on higher side which goes against his observation that the price quoted to the associated person was not at arms length.
