TNMM was accepted for intra-group management fees and technology and trademark licence fees because the same transactions had been treated as interlinked in earlier and subsequent years, with no change in functions, assets or risks shown and evidence of services and business benefit on record; the CUP-based nil valuation was therefore unsustainable and the transfer pricing adjustments were deleted.
