The Tribunal noted that the TPO computed the ALP of management services as Nil, stating no services were rendered by the Associated Enterprise (AE). The Tribunal observed that a Coordinate Bench of the Delhi Tribunal, in the AE's case (Keller APAC), had considered whether management services fell under Fees for Technical Services (FTS) as per Article 12(4) of the India-Singapore DTAA. In that case, the rendition of services was not disputed, and the dispute was only about taxability. The Tribunal found merit in the assessee's argument that if service rendition is acknowledged in the hands of the AE, it cannot be held as not received by the assessee. The Tribunal also noted that the AE's case decision was rendered subsequent to the lower authorities' orders in the present case and that the assessee had submitted voluminous documentary evidence that might not have been properly verified. Therefore, the Tribunal decided to remit the issue of determining the ALP of management fees back to the AO/TPO for reconsideration in light of the coordinate bench's decision and the supporting evidence, ensuring the assessee is given a reasonable opportunity of being heard. The issue of whether the management services were shareholder activities or provided benefit was not expressly decided.

The Tribunal held that the compensation received was directly linked to the assessee's agricultural activities and the loss of agricultural produce. Therefore, it retains the character of agricultural income and is exempt from tax.

The Tribunal held that the TPO rejected the assessee's chosen CUP method and applied TNMM as the MAM, recomputing the margin and selecting fresh comparables, resulting in the TP adjustment. The Tribunal noted that the TPO did not consider the assessee's contentions regarding economic adjustments (customs duty, warranty provision, forex losses) and the submissions on interest on receivables. Consequently, the Tribunal decided that the entire issue of TP adjustment for margins and interest on receivables needed re-examination. The Tribunal remitted the issues back to the AO/TPO to be examined afresh, providing the assessee a reasonable opportunity of being heard. The ratio decidendi is that when an AO/TPO fails to consider material submissions and claims of the assessee regarding economic adjustments and interest on receivables, the matter should be remanded for fresh adjudication.
