The High Court upheld the assessee's aggregated benchmarking of multiple international transactions under TNMM, accepting the DRP's finding that the transactions were commercially interlinked and should be tested together.

As the matter was covered by binding precedent and supported by concurrent findings, no substantial question of law arose and the Revenue's appeal was dismissed.
