(ii) Sundaram Multipap Ltd. vs. DCIT,C.O No.272/Mum/2017, A.Y. 2012-13 decided on 20/04/2018. 10. The ld. Departmental Representative vehemently opposed cond .....

..... g as comparable, the TPO has wrongly applied OP margin as 37.68% as against actual OP margin of 15.21%. The assessee has also filed calculation giving details of computation of OP margin in the case of Future Capital Investment segment. We are of considered view that there appears to be a clerical error in calculation of OP margins.
