Issues involved: Appeal against order u/s 143(3) read with section 144C of the Income Tax Act, 1961 regarding TP matters and non TP matters.
TP Matters: The assessee, engaged in sourcing, distribution, and marketing of Adidas products, filed returns with varying profits. Despite objections filed before the Disputes Resolution Panel (DRP), the proposed additions by the Assessing Officer were upheld without detailed discussion of objections. The DRP's non-speaking order lacked consideration of objections and failed to provide reasons for decisions, leading to a remand back for re-adjudication. Non TP Matters: Various additions made by the Assessing Officer, including disallowance of part of AMP expenditure, addition on interest-free loans, depreciation on peripherals, and other claims, were contested by the assessee. The Assessing Officer's decisions were upheld based on detailed case laws, lack of fresh facts, and other grounds. However, the Tribunal found discrepancies in the DRP's order, highlighting the need for a speaking order and proper consideration of objections. Consequently, the appeal was allowed for statistical purposes, and the issue was remitted back to the DRP for re-examination. This judgment emphasizes the importance of providing detailed reasons for decisions in tax matters and ensuring that all objections raised by the taxpayer are duly considered by the adjudicating authorities.
