Ground No. 1 (challenge to finding that 'corporate guarantee commission' is an international transaction) was withdrawn and dismissed as not pressed. Ground No. 2 assailed a T.P. adjustment of Rs. 93,33,78,654/- in respect of 'corporate guarantee commission'; the TPO had made an adjustment by charging commission @ 1.418%. The assessee relied on Tribunal orders in its own case for AY 2012-13 (ITA No. 882/Mum/2017, decided 07/09/2018) and AY 2013-14 (ITA No. 5720/Mum/2017, decided 29/08/2019), wherein the CIT(A), following CIT v.

As the facts for the impugned year are identical to the earlier years, the Tribunal allowed ground No. 2 for parity of reasons. Appeal partly allowed.
