Transfer pricing adjustment on intra-group services was deleted because the Tribunal followed binding decisions in the assessee's own earlier years, affirmed by the Gujarat High Court, holding that actual receipt of services and business nexus had been demonstrated. It accepted that the TPO could not fix arm's length price at nil merely on perceived lack of benefit, duplication, or shareholder characterisation, and that an ALP determination requires application of a prescribed benchmarking method with comparable uncontrolled analysis.
