The ITAT remanded the case to the Assessing Officer for fresh examination on multiple issues. Regarding payments to foreign entities, the Tribunal held that further factual examination was necessary to determine whether the foreign entity made technical knowledge available to the assessee, qualifying as Fees for Technical Services/Included Services. The ITAT directed clarification on whether expenses constituted subcontracting or testing charges, as these terms carry different legal implications. The taxability of management fees was also remanded, with the assessee permitted to file documentary evidence supporting its alternative plea that payments were reimbursements of global costs. The Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeals for statistical purposes only, requiring the AO to conduct a comprehensive reassessment in accordance with law.
