But however, as regards other comparables with both high margin and low margin companies, we are of the opinion that the CIT(A) ought to give reasoning before excluding the same. As the order of the CIT(A) is silent as regards the reason for their exclusion, we deem it fit and proper to remit the issue back to the file of the CIT(A) for reconsideration - ITA No. 405/Bang/2011 And ITA No. 523/Bang/2011 - - - Dated:- 21-9-2012 - P.

..... CIT(A), raising the same objections that were raised before the TPO relating to the filters adopted by the TPO and also the exclusion of the comparables identified by the assesee and inclusion of the companies whose information was not available in public domain. The CIT(A) after considering the assessee s objections excluded super profit making companies from the final comparables adopted by the TPO and also excluded the comparables with lower margins for making the TP adjustment.

We find that various Benches of the Tribunal have held that super profit making companies have to be excluded from the list of comparables while determining the arms length price.
