ITAT allowed Ground No.2, holding that Company A is not a comparable for TP adjustment. The Tribunal accepted that Company A admitted to ROC it is exclusively a manufacturer, whereas the assessee conducts both manufacturing and trading; the TPO's 75% trading-turnover filter consequently excluded Company A.
