Outstanding receivables from associated enterprises, where they arose from sales transactions already benchmarked under TNMM and a working capital adjustment had been granted, did not justify a separate notional interest adjustment absent evidence of an independent financing arrangement; the adjustment was deleted.

Grounds challenging initiation of penalty proceedings were treated as premature because no final penalty order was under appeal. The treaty-based claim for refund of excess dividend distribution tax was also restored for fresh adjudication.
