INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

Section 92C

This Court was not persuaded to hold that Tribunal erred in law in excluding them from the list of comparables for the purposes of determining the ALP of the assessee's international transactions.

Transfer pricing - Computation of arm's length price - Selection of comparables -

Assessee was engaged in data processing which is rendered to overseas affiliated and unrelated entities, based on the specific requirements of the customers. Revenue urges that of the ten excluded comparables, Tribunal ought not to have excluded Infosys BPO Limited only on the basis of its earlier order for assessment year 2009-2010 since in that earlier order Tribunal had wrongly proceeded on the basis that the said comparable had to be excluded on the ground of high turnover. Held: The comparable discussed in Agnity India Technologies Pvt. Ltd. . [(2013) ITA 1204/2011 : 2013 TaxPub(DT) 2693 (Del-HC)] which was sought to be excluded was an Infosys Group Company which undoubtedly was 'a giant corporation'. Court had with help of the chart produced by Revenue examined the facts in relation to each of nine other comparables. This Court was not persuaded to hold that Tribunal had erred in law in excluding them from the list of comparables for the purposes of determining the ALP of the assessee's international transactions.
