[S.92, 260A]

Hon’ble court has held that in terms of the provision of section 92C of the Act, ALP cannot be determined by comparing prices charged to Group Companies, i.e., controlled transaction. Hence, TPO ought to have arrived at ALP of assessee’s sale to its AE by only comparing it with an uncontrolled transaction of sale and, therefore, approach of TPO was contrary to provisions of law.
