The ITAT provided the following rulings: Regarding TP adjustment for comparable selection and treatment of IT support services as ITeS, the issue requires examination by the Transfer Pricing Officer (TPO) based on the specific nature of services rendered by the assessee. Concerning the TPO's separate benchmarking analysis for cost contribution charges and determining arm's length price at 'Nil', making an adjustment of the entire amount, the ITAT ruled in favor of the assessee. The Tribunal held that the TPO remained oblivious to Rule 10B(1)(a) stipulating 'comparable' and 'uncontrolled' transactions while applying the CUP method, and the TPO's general observation was incorrect. The ITAT directed the TPO to delete additions made on account of cost contribution charges and notional interest on outstanding receivables from Associated Enterprises (AEs).
