Regarding the scope of Section 92BA(i) as omitted, the Tribunal held that the reference made to the Transfer Pricing Officer (TPO) for the specified domestic transaction mentioned in clause (i) of Section 92BA of the Act is invalid. This is because the said provision has been omitted, and any addition made concerning the same needs to be deleted. As per the Karnataka High Court's decision in M/s. Texport Overseas Pvt. Ltd., when clause (i) of Section 92BA was omitted by the Finance Act, 2017, with effect from 01.07.2017, it is considered as if it never existed. Consequently, the Assessing Officer's decision u/s 92BA and the reference made to the TPO order u/s 92CA are invalid and unlawful. Regarding Transfer Pricing (TP) adjustment, it was held that it should be restricted only to transactions between Associated Enterprises (AEs). As per the Bombay High Court's decision in Phoenix Mecvano (India)(P.) Ltd., under Chapter X of the Act, re-determination of consideration is to be done only concerning income arising from international transactions on determination of Arm's Length Price (ALP). The adjustment is mandated only for international transactions and not transactions with independent unrelated third parties, as there is no tax avoidance issue requiring adjustment.
