Transfer pricing dispute over use of TNMM: tribunal excluded specified comparables (Eclerx Services, Infosys BPO, Accentia) due to functional dissimilarity, directing AO/TPO to revise comparable set. Deduction claims under Section 10A: UB Plaza unit allowed as change of ownership by slump sale does not by itself defeat eligibility (CBDT Circular No.1/2013 noted); Titanium STPI unit remitted to AO for fresh factual and documentary verification and allocation of eligible profits if treated as expansion; STPI unit acquired from Reuters to be allowed. Claims on goodwill depreciation remitted for de novo AO verification; depreciation on software not hit by withholding provisions as it is an allowance, not revenue expenditure.
