The ITAT allowed the assessee's appeal regarding transfer pricing adjustments for power supply, ruling that the assessee's method for determining arm's length price was correct and the AO's adjustments were inconsistent with Income Tax Act provisions. Similarly, on steam transfer pricing, the Tribunal rejected the AO's Cost-Plus Method approach, finding it inconsistent with case facts and noting the AO erroneously reduced losses already considered by the assessee. The Tribunal disallowed the assessee's claim for deduction under section 80G for CSR contributions, holding that allowing such deductions would defeat the fundamental purpose of CSR expenditure. However, regarding deemed income under section 41(1), the ITAT allowed the appeal, finding that disallowance would constitute double taxation as the assessee had already deducted the amount in the subsequent year's return.
