CIT(A) and tribunal deleted the addition as profit was only notionally calculated based on foreign exchange rate on the last day of the year. High Court  relied on the decision of CIT v. Woodward Governor India P. Ltd.  (2009) 312 ITR 254 (SC) and remanded the matter to the tribunal for recomputing the assessment. (ITA No. 496 of 2008 dt. 18-04-2019) (AY. 2004-05)
