 In DCIT v. Coca Cola India Inc., the Delhi ITAT held that a Working Capital Adjustment cannot be made merely because receivables from an AE remain outstanding for an extended period. The Tribunal observed that such adjustments under TNMM are intended to improve comparability and must be supported by evidence of actual financing cost or economic disadvantage. Since the assessee had no external borrowings, incurred no interest cost, and was fully funded by its US Head Office, the Revenue failed to establish any real financial burden arising from delayed receivables. Accordingly, the TP adjustment was deleted.
