AO CANNOT MAKE ALP ADJUSTMENT OF ITS OWN.

The provisions of TP regulations applicable for computing income from international transactions having regard to ALP. If the TPO suggests that the operating profit declared by an assessee is compatible to ALP norms, the operation of all those provisions come to an end. AO can not make any other adjustment towards
computing deduction available under sec. 10A using ALP. Under section 10A the computation has to be made in the context of sec. 10A(7) read with sec.80IA(10).

It is not justified to adopt ALP profits to determine what is "ordinary profits" for the purpose of sec. 10A(7)? Therefore, arm’s length profit cannot be used to determine ‘ordinary profits’ for the purpose of Section 10A(7) of the Act -The decision in the case of Tweezerman (India) Pvt Ltd followed.
