Departmental Representative submitted that the DRP directed the Assessing Officer to consider the claim of the assessee in the light of the CBDT Circular No.1 of 2013 dated 17.1.2013. Therefore, the assessee may not have any grievance. 5. We have considered the rival submissions on either side and also perused the material available on record. As rightly submitted by the ld.

An agreement for sale/service, according to the ld. Counsel, cannot be considered to be having controlling interest over the Associated Enterprise. Unless and until the assessee has control over the management, finance etc. in respect of the Associated Enterprise, there is no question of any deeming control over the Associated Enterprise.
