Whether in the facts and circumstances of the case and in law, the Tribunal erred in disregarding the fact that the taxpayer’s routine functions resulted in brand building that exclusively benefitted the Associated Enterprise, thereby making substance prevail over form for transfer pricing purposes? D. Whether on the facts and in circumstances of the case, the Tribunal is justified in referring to ITAT Delhi Bench's decision in the case of Kusum Healthcare and holding that no separate adjustment is warranted for interest on receivables ignoring the fact that assessee has failed to prove that its working capital adjustment captured abnormal delays as held in case of Garware Fulflex India Pvt. Ltd. by ITAT Mumbai, therefore the TPO's separate benchmarking of receivables stood justified? E. Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal is justified in confirming inclusion of comparable which do not have similar FAR as that of the assessee?
