CIT(A) has erred in law by considering the proportionate difference for purpose of calculation of +/- 5% benefit as against the actual difference between the Arms Length Price determined and amount shown in the books of accounts. The Ld. CIT(A) has inadvertently taken the differential figure i.e. 3.56 % based on working of Rs. 4,10,82,956/Rs. 1,06,25,38,120*100 =3.86 % which is less than 5% instead of correct and appropriate figure of 10.44 % based on working of Rs. 11,09,72,200/Rs. 1,06, 25, 38, 120*100 = 10.44 %." 2.

It was argued before the TPO that TP adjustment should be proportionate of international transaction of manufacturing segments. It was accordingly requested to TPO to rectify the mistake. The TPO vide rectification order dated 16th July, 2014 passed u/s 154/143(3) reduced the transfer pricing adjustment from 11,09,72,200/- to Rs. 6,58,73,098/-, the working of which is as under:- Particulars (related to manufacturing segment Amount in INR Reference Total Sales 2,96,84,00,000 Page No. 3 of AO's Rectification Order u/s 154/143(3) dated 16.07.2014 Arm's Length PLI 7.05% Arm's Length Operating Cost 20,92,72,200 Arm's Length Cost 2,75,91,27,000 Operating Cost of 2,87,01,00,000 .....

In appeal, the ld. CIT(A) allowed the appeal of the assessee by observing as under:- "7. Decision:- I have considered the assessment order, order u/s 92CA(3) passed by the TPO and the subsequent rectification order passed by the TPO on 19.08/2014 and 12.03.2015. Without giving into the merits of selection of comparable by the TPO for finally determining the ALP of international transaction u/s 92CA, I would like to dwell upon whether the adjustment made in ALP is within the safe harbor as per second proviso below Sub-section 2 of section 92C of the I.T. Act. While passing the order u .....

The Ld. TPO has rejected the rectification application on the issue of adjustment +-5% as per second proviso to sub-section (2) of section 92C on the ground that these mistakes requires deeper analysis and interpretation therefore is not a mistake rectifiable u/s 154.

It is undisputed facts that the total adjustment in manufacturing segment after passing of rectification order u/s 154 dated 12.03.2015 in .....

The various decisions relied on by the ld. counsel also support its case that TP adjustment made under TNMM is not warranted when the value of the international transaction of purchase of raw material and the proportionate arm's length operating cost falls within the +/- 5% arm's length range. We further find that the TPO in the instant case has passed rectification order twice i.e., the first one on 19th August, 2014 and the second one on 12th March, 2015 and finally reduced the TP adjustment from 11,09,72,200/- to Rs. 4,10,82,956/-. We, therefore, find merit in the argument of the ld. counsel that the appeal filed by the Revenue should be dismissed being infructuous since the variatio .....
