2015 (3) TMI 604 - ITAT HYDERABADTransfer pricing adjustment - selection of comparable - Held that:- Exensys Software Solutions Ltd.- there is an extra-ordinary event which resulted in high operating margin of that company and we, therefore, direct the AO to exclude this company from the list of comparables. In the above referred case of Intoto Sof tware India Pvt. Ltd., complete details were not placed on record, therefore, the matter was sent to AO for verif ication whereas in this case assessee has objected even before the AO/ CIT(A), therefore, there is no need to set aside the issue to the f ile of the AO for examination as was done in the case of Intoto Software (2013 (10) TMI 599 - ITAT HYDERABAD). We are, therefore, of the opinion that on the basis of facts placed on record, the case of Exensys Sof tware Solutions Ltd. cannot be taken as comparable. Similarly, the other cases, Bodhtree consulting Ltd, Four Soft Ltd, Infosys, Sankhya Infotech Ltd., Thirdware Solutions Ltd, Tata Elexi (seg) etc, are also to be excluded as they are considered and analysed in various cases relied on about functional ity and why the same are not comparable to the companies like assessee. Bodhtree consulting Ltd also fails RPT filter as contended. In view of this, we are not discussing above comparables in detail, but, suffice to say that assessee’s submissions are valid. The AO is directed to exclude the above comparables and re-work out the arm’s length margin accordingly. - Decided in favour of assessee.
