The Appellants-Revenue have filed this appeal u/s.260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, raising purportedly certain substantial questions of law arising from the order of the ITAT, A Bench, Bangalore, dated 21.10.2016 passed in IT(TP)A No.113/Bang/2014 (M/s.Tory Harris Business Solutions Pvt. Ltd., vs. The Deputy Commissioner of Income-Tax) for A.Y.2009-10. 2.

Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was justified in deleting the addition made by the Assessing Officer without appreciating that due to the amendment in section 194J and section 9 of the IT Act, the charges paid for leased line come under the purview of section 194J of the Act and therefore liable to TDS? 7.

Ltd., (supra) relied on by the learned DR, there was no linear relationship between margin and turn over in the case of comparables selected and the revenue was able to substantiate this through a plotted graph produced before the TPO. Here the revenue has not been able to show us the absence of a relationship between the margin and turn over in the case of comparables which had turn over in excess of ₹ 200 Crores. We are therefore, of the opinion that M/s Tata Elxsi Ltd., M/s Sasken Communication Tech. Ltd., M/s Persistent Systems Ltd., M/s Zylog Systems Ltd., M/s Mindtree Ltd., M/s L T Infotech Ltd., and M/s Infosys L ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... ech.

The relevant portion of the said judgment is quoted below for ready reference: Conclusion: 55.

Therefore we clarify that mere dissatisfaction with the findings of facts arrived at by the learned Tribunal is not at all a sufficient reason to invoke Section 260-A of the Act before this Court. 58. The appeals filed by the Revenue are therefore dismissed with no order as to costs. 6. Having heard the learned counsels for the parties, we are therefore of the opinion that no substantial question of law arises in the present case also. The appeal filed by the Appellants-Revenue is liable to be dismissed and it is dismissed accordingl ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
