ITAT held that Rule 10CA is only a computational mechanism and does not cure functional dissimilarity, scale differences or segmental deficiencies; it therefore directed exclusion of Nihilent Technologies, Tata Elxsi, Cybage Software, Infosys, Larsen & Toubro Infotech and Wipro from the comparables set. It also held that a different financial year by itself does not vitiate comparability where public-domain data can be suitably extrapolated, and directed inclusion of R Systems International on relevant-year data. The Tribunal allowed working capital adjustment based on opening and closing balances from annual reports, and held that any separate receivables adjustment must be tested after such adjustment; if still required, interest should be benchmarked at LIBOR plus 200 basis points with a 60-day credit period.
