        Tribunal adjusts transfer pricing, bonus provision, and disallowance percentage.

        NTT Data Global Delivery Services Pvt. Ltd. Versus Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax, Circle-5 (1)

        NTT Data Global Delivery Services Pvt. Ltd. Versus Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax, Circle-5 (1) - TMI Issues Involved:
        1. Transfer pricing adjustment - Exclusion of 4 comparable companies.
        2. Whether provision made for bonus is a contingent liability or ascertained liability for the purpose of section 115JB of the Act.
        3. Disallowance u/s. 14A of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

        Detailed Analysis:

        Transfer Pricing Adjustment - Exclusion of 4 Comparable Companies:
        The assessee challenged the inclusion of four companies (Geometric Software Solutions Co. Limited, Bodhtree Consulting Limited, Flextronics Software Systems Limited, and Tata Elxsi Limited) in the transfer pricing adjustment made by the TPO. The Tribunal noted that these companies were previously excluded by the coordinate bench in the case of Sharp Software Development India Pvt. Ltd.

        1. Geometric Software Solutions Co. Limited: It was excluded as it engaged in product development, which is not comparable to the assessee's service-based business. The TPO's assumptions and lack of segmental profit data further justified its exclusion.

        2. Bodhtree Consulting Limited: Excluded due to high related party transactions (34.68% of total turnover) and functional dissimilarity (providing e-paper solutions and data cleansing software).

        3. Flextronics Software Systems Limited: Excluded due to functional dissimilarity and the TPO's improper allocation of expenses between software development services and product activities.

        4. Tata Elxsi Limited: Excluded as it operates in specialized embedded software development, which is not comparable to the assessee's software development services. The lack of segmental profit data for comparable services also supported its exclusion.

        The Tribunal directed the exclusion of these four companies from the list of comparables, aligning with previous decisions.

        Provision for Bonus - Contingent Liability or Ascertained Liability:
        The AO added the provision for bonus (Rs. 3.49 crores) to the net profit for computing book profit u/s. 115JB, treating it as a contingent liability. The Tribunal, referencing the Chennai bench's decision in ACIT Vs. Sun Paper Mills Ltd., held that the provision for bonus is an ascertained liability as it is a known obligation payable to employees, and the actual payment was made in the succeeding year. Consequently, the Tribunal directed the exclusion of the provision for bonus from the book profit calculation.

        Disallowance u/s. 14A of the Income-tax Act, 1961:
        The AO disallowed Rs. 7,87,830/- under section 14A, applying rule 8D(2)(iii). The Tribunal noted that rule 8D is prospective from AY 2008-09, and thus not applicable to AY 2005-06. However, disallowance u/s. 14A should still be made on a reasonable basis. Citing the Bombay High Court's decision in Godrej Agrovet Ltd., the Tribunal directed the AO to restrict the disallowance to 2% of the exempt dividend income (Rs. 41.02 lakhs), considering it a reasonable estimate.

        Conclusion:
        The appeal was partly allowed. The Tribunal excluded the four companies from the transfer pricing comparables, treated the provision for bonus as an ascertained liability, and restricted the disallowance u/s. 14A to 2% of the exempt dividend income. The order was pronounced on 17th Dec, 2020.
