Where inter-company loans are advanced to subsidiary entities under the assessee's management and control, a higher arm's length interest rate is not justified merely because the loans are unsecured or the subsidiaries have a weaker credit profile.

The transfer pricing adjustment to the arm's length price of interest was therefore deleted.
