..... les it to claim the deduction. If the view adopted by the TPO is taken to logical conclusion, then no businessman will ever suffer loss. We, therefore, hold that the benefit test applied by the TPO cannot be approved. Having found that the assessee did receive intra group services from its AE, the next question is the determination of its ALP. The assessee has nowhere determined the ALP of transaction on individual basis. The TPO determined Nil ALP on the premise that since, the assessee did not receive any services, there was no question of making any payment in view thereof. We have overturned the impugned order on the question of receipt of services by holding that the intra group services were actually received by the assessee. In th .....

..... method and claimed Rs.2,15,19,980/- as ALP at entity level. The TPO proposed upward adjustment by holding that the assessee did not prove receipt of services with proper documentation and evidences. The contention of ld. AR is that the TPO did not examine the issue in respect of any method but held no services and benefit received by the assessee which is not justified.

In our considered opinion, the TPO was fully justified in segregating the international transaction of intra group services from the other transactions because it is not interlinked with the other transactions. It is only in case of interlinked transactions that one can process them on aggregate basis. As international transaction of intra group services is totally different from the other transactions, we uphold the view of the TPO in segregating it and then processing it separately for ALP determination. 7.

Having found that the assessee did receive intra group services from its AE, the next question is the determination of its ALP. The assessee has nowhere determined the ALP of transaction on individual basis. The TPO determined Nil ALP on the premise that since, the assessee did not receive any services, there was no question of making any payment in view thereof. We have overturned the impugned order on the question of receipt of services by holding that the intra group services were actually received by the assessee. In that view of the matter, the ALP of the international transaction needs to be determined afresh. We, therefore, set aside the impugned order and .....
