5. Judgment: The ITAT considered the contentions and orders of lower authorities. The TPO rectified the adjustment amount based on CIT(A) order, resulting in no adjustment for the assessee. The Revenue's appeal was dismissed due to the low tax effect.

6. Conclusion: Both appeals were dismissed as the TPO rectified the adjustment for the assessee, and the Revenue's appeal had a low tax effect.
