of <h1>Court dismisses Transfer Pricing adjustment & interest disallowance, favoring assessee in Tax appeal</h1> <h3>PRINCIPAL COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX-I Versus ADANI ENTERPRISES LTD</h3> PRINCIPAL COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX-I Versus ADANI ENTERPRISES LTD - [2017] 396 ITR 313 Issues:1. Deletion of addition made on account of Transfer Pricing upward adjustment.2. Disallowance against the amount made by the Assessing Officer.Issue 1: Deletion of addition on account of Transfer Pricing upward adjustment:The appeal raised questions regarding the deletion of an addition of Rs. 3.65 crores made by the Assessing Officer on account of transfer pricing upward adjustment. The Assessing Officer based the addition on the report of the TPO, which highlighted that the assessee's Associated Enterprise (AE) had raised a term loan for which the assessee provided a guarantee by pledging shareholding. The TPO contended that despite RBI's refusal of approval for the share pledge, the guarantee may have proceeded. However, the CIT (Appeals) reversed the decision, stating that the refusal referred to the same transaction, thus no guarantee service was provided. The Tribunal upheld this decision, noting the absence of contrary evidence and no international transaction under Section 92(C) of the Income Tax Act.Issue 2: Disallowance against the amount made by the Assessing Officer:The second question related to disallowance under Section 14A of the Act for interest earned on tax-free income. The Tribunal found that the assessee had ample interest-free funds for tax-free investments and accepted that these funds were not diverted for such purposes. Citing the case of Commissioner of Income Tax vs. Torrent Power Ltd., the Tribunal concluded that no question of law arose. Consequently, the Tax appeal was dismissed based on the findings of the CIT (Appeals) and the Tribunal.In conclusion, the judgment addressed the issues of transfer pricing adjustment and disallowance of interest against tax-free income, with the courts ruling in favor of the assessee based on the evidence presented and legal interpretations applied.
