Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
ITAT dismissed grounds 1 and 2 regarding validity of assessment order, relying on Aztec Software precedent. The Tribunal allowed ground 3 concerning Intra Group Services, following a coordinate Bench decision in assessee's own case for AY 2010-11, as Revenue failed to demonstrate distinguishing features in the current assessment year. Similarly, ground 4 regarding disallowance of mark-up charged by AEs on fixed asset purchases was allowed, directing deletion of the ALP adjustment. Regarding royalty payments, ITAT rejected Revenue's appeal, citing EKL Appliances which negated the need-benefit test, and Magneti Marelli Powertrain which established that TPO cannot segregate transactions already aggregated and benchmarked under TNMM to reduce their ALP to nil under CUP method.
