The ITAT upheld the CIT(A)'s exclusion of certain companies as functionally dissimilar for transfer pricing comparability analysis, confirming their unsuitability as comparable entities for ALP determination. The Tribunal accepted the turnover filter applied by the CIT(A), recognizing that despite service industry norms, turnover impacts profitability due to intangibles like brand value, justifying a turnover cap of up to ten times that of the assessee. Consequently, the inclusion of specified companies with turnover within the prescribed range was affirmed for benchmarking the international transactions. The Tribunal's decision validates the CIT(A)'s methodology and findings on comparable selection and turnover criteria, directing adherence to the adjusted comparable set and turnover limits for ALP computation.
