That on the facts and circumstances of the case, the learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) was not justified in allowing imposition of interest under section 234D of the Act amounting to Rs.2,52,420/-. 5.

..... material, as compared to purchases made by assessee, after the transaction dated 25.3.2003 . With utmost respect we wish to draw attention to submissions and material on record which show that contention of Applicant was slightly different and was that ICIS- LOR rates reflect market prices. To meet urgent business requirement to replenish its low stock urgent purchase made from AE is compared with ICIS LOR spot rate. It is important to consider that AE is also a trader. Therefore, valid comparison in CUP can be made only by comparing the impugned transaction price with spot price, which itself by all means is market price for such terms and conditions. These facts can be seen from the submissions made before lower authorities also as can be seen from appeal records. Hence the conclusion on Grounds of appeal 4 5 appears to result from consideration of mistaken facts. We pray, that Hon'ble Tribunal order dated 26.03.21 be recalled to this extent and justice rendered by considering and adjudicating issues considering complete and correct facts. In view of the above, the Applicant respectfully submits that such obvious error in material facts resulted in grave .....

However, we find from the order of the Tribunal that the point raised by the assessee was not the sole point to arrive at the final conclusion. The Tribunal has considered the overall facts and circumstances of the case. The relevant para of the observation of the Tribunal are reproduced as under: On a careful consideration of the rival contentions, perusal of the order of the authorities below as well as case law cited, we are of the considered opinion that the transfer pricing adjustment has to be upheld. The entire adjustment is based on one transaction of purchase of 4754.594 MT of Paraxvlene on 25.03.2003 (Bill of lading date) @ 858.38 USD/MT. The AO compared this purchase price with the purchase price of 4778.496 MT of Paraxylene on 21.03.2003 (Bill of lading date) @ 621.61 USD/MT. We are unable to accept the contention of the assessee that a higher rate was charged by the AE on this purchase, as there was a sudden raise in the international prices of this material, as compared to purchases made by the assessee, af .....
