S. 92C : Transfer pricing-Arm’s length price-Interest on loans to AEs-Arm’s length rate of interest is the rate prevalent in the country where the loan is received/consumed and not the country in which the assessee advances loans to its AEs-Order of settlement commission is conclusive as regards the matter there in and not on other years. [S. 245D(4), 245I]

S. 92C : Transfer pricing-Arm’s length price–No express agreement shown to exist between assessee and AE for incurring ALP expenses for promotion of brand of AE–hence, AMP expenses cannot come within the purview of the international transaction-Determination of ALP of royalty at Nil is not sustainable-Applying rule of consistency-payment of royalty paid in earlier and subsequent years-has to be accepted.

[S. 69]

S. 68 Cash Credits–Share Application money–Identity and Creditworthiness of the share applicant-Genuineness of the transactions-Burden of Proof–Initial onus on assessee– Discharged-Onus shift to Revenue–Addition based on suspicion is held to be invalid.
