The Tribunal held that the appeal was filed within the prescribed time, dismissing the initial contention of delay. Regarding the upward adjustment for international transactions, the Tribunal found that C M Smith & Sons Ltd. was primarily engaged in manufacturing, not trading, based on its financials showing significant cost of materials consumed relative to product sales, and thus directed its exclusion as a comparable. Similarly, Rane Brake Lining Ltd. was found to be engaged in manufacturing components for the transportation industry, with negligible sales of traded goods, and therefore, its exclusion as a comparable for the trading segment was directed. The Tribunal upheld the disallowance of foreign exchange loss of ₹.3,20,75,213/- under Section 43A of the Act, as the loss was incurred on an ECB loan availed for the import of capital items.

Thus, the appeal was partly allowed.
