For AY 2020-21, the Tribunal admitted the additional evidence filed by the assessee, which included industry reports and financials, as it went to the root of the issue regarding imputation of interest on outstanding receivables. Considering that substantial justice and equity required proper adjudication, the matter was restored to the file of the AO/TPO for fresh examination of the admitted evidence and a decision in accordance with law. For AY 2021-22, the Tribunal noted that the CIT(A) had dismissed the appeal in limine without adjudicating on merits. The Tribunal found that the issue was identical to that for AY 2020-21 and that the CIT(A) ought to have adjudicated the appeal on merits in the absence of a final assessment order under Section 144C(13). Therefore, the impugned order was set aside, and the matter was restored to the file of the AO/TPO for fresh consideration, adopting the same course as for AY 2020-21.
The Tribunal held that the forex loss pertaining to External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) of Rs. 38,51,441/- and capital expenditure of Rs. 74,10,264/- should be excluded as non-operating while computing the PLI. The Tribunal reasoned that forex gains or losses arising from financing and capital account transactions are attributable to treasury and funding functions, not operational profitability, and cited the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines. The Tribunal also found merit in the assessee's argument regarding consistency in treatment by the revenue in earlier years. Regarding the exclusion of ZF Steering Gear (India) Limited, the Tribunal held that it is functionally dissimilar to the assessee due to differences in business segments and industries served, and directed its exclusion from the comparables. The Tribunal remitted the issue of disallowances back to the AO to consider the additional evidence submitted by the assessee and any further details required, directing the AO to provide a reasonable opportunity of being heard.
The Tribunal, considering the peculiar circumstances and in the interest of natural justice, decided to give the assessee one more opportunity. The quantum appeal and penalty appeals were remitted back to the CIT(A) for fresh consideration.
