The return of income was filed declaring loss of Rs. 13,13,83,846/-. As the assessee company had entered into International Transactions related to purchases from the Associated Enterprises, a reference was made to the Ld. Transfer Pricing Officer (TPO) and the Ld. TPO recommended an upward adjustment of Rs. 15,20,75,072/- with regard to the Arms' Length Price (ALP). The assessment was completed at an income of Rs. 2,09,81,026/- after making the Transfer Pricing Adjustment of Rs. 15,20,75,072/- and also after making a disallowance of 10% from miscellaneous expenses. 2.1 Aggrieved, the assessee approached the Ld.

We have heard the Ld. Sr. DR and have also perused the impugned order as well as the material on record. We find that this issue has been elaborately discussed by the Ld. CIT (A) in paragraph 7.5 and 7.6 of the impugned order to which we are in full agreement.
