....re capital and therefore, the same was to be disallowed." 3.1 Facts of the case, in brief, are that during the course of assessment proceedings the Assessing Officer observed that assessee has increased its issued, subscribed and paid up share capital by making direct expenses of Rs. 33,17,360/- on account of stamp duty and registration charges. He observed that in the computation of income the assessee company claimed deduction of Rs. 6,63,472/- u/s.35D of the I.T. Act. by amortizing the said expenses over a period of 5 years. According to the Assessing Officer the assessee must have incurred further indirect expenses for increasing the share capital. Therefore, the Assessing Officer made adhoc disallowance of Rs. 33,174/- treating the said expenses as capital expenditure. The assessee approached the DRP but without any success. The Assessing Officer accordingly made disallowance of Rs. 33,174/-. 3.2 Aggrieved with such order of the Assessing Officer the assessee is in appeal before us. 4. The Ld. Counsel for the assessee strongly challenged the order of the Assessing Officer. He submitted that the assessee has incurred expenditure of Rs. 33,17,360/- on stamp duty and reg....

The Assessing Officer accordingly made addition of Rs. 33,17,360/- to the total income of the assessee. 7.2 Aggrieved with such order of the Assessing Officer the assessee is in appeal before us. 8. The Ld. Counsel for the assessee submitted that the addition made by the Assessing Officer is devoid of any merit. According to him, the share capital was increased by the assessee company which is available for various purposes and it is not a case that the capital is increased only for making the investment in the subsidiary company. He submitted that the utilisation of funds raised on account of increase in the share capital is not to be considered for making the disallowance u/s.14A. Referring to page 98 of the paper book he submitted that the assessee has already disallowed itself an amount of Rs. 39,92,272/- and has not claimed any expenditure. Referring to page 29 of the paper book he submitted that the auditors in clause 15 of the Tax Audit Report have mentioned that the deduction is allowable u/s.35D at Rs. 39,99,272/- and the assessee has debited an amount of Rs. 33,17,360/-. He submitted that ....

On verification of the various details furnished by the assessee, the Assessing Officer noted that both the units, i.e. STPI and non STPI (exempt and taxable) are rendering their total IT and IT enabled services to their parent/holding company. He noted that no separate books of accounts are maintained for the said two units. Therefore, in absence of the same, he was of the opinion that the book results shown by the assessee are not fully verifiable. He noted that the auditors while certifying the eligibility of deduction of Rs. 9,22,90,403/- u/s.10A have given the following note : "4. The indirect costs have been allocated to the eligible STPI unit based on the assumptions made and determined appropriate by the management and we have relied upon the same. 5. In determining the profit of the undertaking, operating and other overhead costs have been allocated based on the assumptions made as determined appropriate by the management of the company and the auditors have not ascertained their propriety". 11.2 He, therefore, was of the opinion that the correctness/reasonableness of the expenses allocated by the asses....

Counsel for the assessee referring to page 98 of the paper book submitted that the assessee has given complete details and has made addition to the total income u/s.40(a)(ia) and 43B. He submitted that because of the disallowances the business income of the assessee has gone up and the assessee has claimed higher deduction u/s.10A. Referring to the decision of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of CIT Vs. Gem Plus Jewellery India Pvt. Ltd. reported in 330 ITR 175 he submitted that the Hon'ble High Court in the said decision has held that increased income owing to disallowance has to be taken into account for the purpose of calculation of deduction u/s.10A. He submitted that the Assessing Officer has completely ignored the decision of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court cited (Supra). He submitted that the assessee has maintained separate books of account. The assessee has apportioned the common expenses on the basis of number of employees whereas the Assessing Officer has allocated the expenses on the basis of turnover. In any case, in vi....

.... Bombay High Court while deciding an identical issue for computation of deduction u/s.10A where disallowance was made u/s.43B has observed as under : "For the purposes of the appeal it is necessary to refer to the admitted position which is that the assessee had deposited both the employer's and the employees' contribution towards PF and ESIC, though beyond the due date including the grace period. The AO added these payments to the total income of the assessee and made an addition in the amount of Rs. 71.59 lacs. However, for the deduction under s. 10A, the addition made on account of the employees' contribution was ignored in calculating the profits eligible for deduction on the ground that these receipts were not generated out of the manufacturing activity of the assessee company. By reason of the judgment of the Supreme Court in CIT vs. Alom Extrusions Ltd. (2009) 227 CTR (SC) 417 : (2009) 32 (SC) DTR 49 : (2009) 319 ITR 306 (SC) the employer's contribution was liable to be allowed, since it was deposited by the due date for the filing of the return. The peculiar position, however, as it obtains in the present case arises out of the fact that th....

Counsel for the assessee did not press this ground for which the Ld. Departmental Representative has no objection. Accordingly, ground of appeal No.4.2 is dismissed as 'not pressed'. 16. Grounds of appeal No. 5 to 5.6 by the assessee reads as under: "5. The Ld. DRP erred in confirming the addition of Rs. 10,29,90,870/- made u/s.92CA of the Act". 5.1] The learned DRP erred in making an adjustment of Rs. 5,03,92,400/- u/s 92CA in respect of provision of software development services by the appellant company to its AE. 5.2] The learned DRP erred in making an adjustment of Rs. 4,63,25,506/- u/s 92CA in respect of provision of design engineering & testing services by the appellant company to its AE. 5.3] The learned DRP erred in making an adjustment of Rs. 62,72,964/- u/s 92CA in respect of provision of regional supply management Services by the appellant company to its AE. 5.4] Without prejudice to the above grounds, the learned DRP erred in not appreciating that the adjustment....

The assessee approached the DRP but without any success. Accordingly, the TPO made adjustment of Rs. 5,03,92,400/- u/s.92CA of the I.T. Act. 18. The Ld.

Counsel for the assessee submitted that profits and losses are part and parcel of business activity and hence, merely because VJIL has incurred loss in this year, the TPO is not justified in rejecting the said company from the list of final comparables. Referring to page No.402 of Paper book-II he submitted that VJIL has been consistently earning profits for the preceding five years i.e. from A.Y.2002-03 to A.Y.2006-07 and thus, it is not a persistent loss making company. He accordingly submitted that merely because VJIL has incurred loss in this year, there is no reason to reject the said company from the list of final comparable entities. For the above proposition, he relied on the decision of the Pune Bench of the Tribunal in the case of Cummins Turbo Technologies Ltd. v. DCIT [ITA No. 118/PN/2011] wherein it has been held that a company should not be rejected merely because it has incurred losses, unless it is shown that the said company is a persistent loss making company.

Counsel for the assessee submitted that Infosys is the market giant in the field of software development and it assumes all risks leading to higher profits whereas the assessee company is a captive unit of its holding company, Deere & Co., USA and it assumes only limited risks. There is vast difference in the size of operations, assets and risks borne by Infosys and that of the assessee company. For instance, the turnover of Infosys for this year is Rs. 13,149 Crs. [page 423 of P.B- II] as against the turnover of the assessee company of Rs. 39.34 Crs. from software developmentactivity [page 37 of TPO's order]. He submitted that Infosys owns a large number of brands/proprietary products which is not the case of the assessee company. Further, in the TPO's order for A.Y.2006 - 07 in the assessee's own case, the TPO has held that Infosys is not comparable with the assessee company on the ground that its turnover is far more than that of the assessee and hence, it is not comparable.

Ltd. [ITA No. 1605/PN/l 1] for A.Y.2007 - 08 (Copy of which is placed in the paper book at page 17) he submitted that the assessee company was engaged in providing software development services. The TPO considered Helios as a comparable entity for A.Y. 2007 - 08. The assessee contended that Helios was also engaged in functions other than rendering software development services and hence, it was not comparable with the assessee. The Tribunal held that Helios was not comparable with companies rendering software development services and thus, the said company was excluded. He submitted that like PTC Software (India) Pvt. Ltd., the assessee is also engaged in rendering software development services and hence, the facts and the year under consideration being similar as in that case, therefore, Helios has to be held as functionally not comparable with the assessee company in view of the ....

This fact is evident from the web page of the said company and business profile of the said company enclosed on pages 435 - 437 of P.B. - II. Thus, the said company is engaged in a totally different line of business and hence, this company is functionally different from the assessee company. This issue has also been clarified by the assessee in its submission to the DRP [para 7.5 on page 573 of P.B. - III]. Accordingly, he submitted that ICC should be excluded from the list of final comparables since it is functionally not comparable. Without prejudice, he submitted that ICC has earned Operating Margin of 82.92% which is highly improbable in the business support services sector especially considering the fact that the assessee is a captive unit.

....32.3 So far as the VJIL Consulting Ltd., is concerned, we find the same was rejected by the TPO on the ground that the comparable incurred losses during the year. From the various details furnished by the assessee in the paper book at page 402, we find the company was earning profit from 31-03-2002 till 31-03-2006 and only for the year ending 31-03-2007 it has incurred losses. Therefore, it is not a persistent loss making company. We find from the details furnished by the assessee that the company has earned the following profit in the last 5 years, i.e. Rs. 0.73 crores for the year ending 31-03-2002, 0.53 crores for the year ending 31-03-2003, Rs. 0.86 crores for the year ending 3103-2004, Rs. 0.53 crores for the year ending 31-03-2005 and Rs. 0.34 crores for the year ending 31-03-2006. Only for the year ending 31-032007, the company has incurred loss of Rs. 10.43 crores. The profit for the past 5 years was profit before tax. Therefore, merely because VJIL Consulting Ltd., has incurred loss in this year, the same in our opinion cannot be rejected from the list of comparables. This view of ours is supported by the decision of the Pune Bench of the Tribunal in the case of Cummins Tu....

It was accordingly held that when substantial justice and technical considerations are pitted against each other, the cause of substantial justice deserves to be preferred, for the otherside cannot claim to have a vested right in injustice being done due to some mistakes on its part. Accordingly, the comparable which was taken by the assessee as well as the AO was directed to be excluded from the list of comparables and the matter was restored to the file of the AO for fresh adjudication. Similarly, the Delhi Bench of the Tribunal in the case of Sapient Corporation Pvt. Ltd., (Supra) and the Mumbai Bench of the Tribunal in the case of Teva India Pvt.

Therefore, we also find merit in the submission of the Ld. Counsel for the assessee that in view of the provisions of Rule 10B(4) of the I.T. Rules, 1961 that the data to be used in analyzing the comparability of an uncontrolled transaction with an International transaction shall be the data relating to the financial year in which the international transaction has been entered into. 35.2 Similar view has been taken by the Pune Bench of the Tribunal in the case of PTC Software (Supra) wherein the Tribunal has excluded Transworld Infotech. Ltd., on the ground that the data adopted of Transworld Infotech Ltd., does not relate to the financial year in which the International Transaction has been carried out by the assessee. On this point the said concern was excluded from the list of comparables. In view of the above we hold that Transworld Infotech is not a comparable entity. In view of the above, we direct the TPO/AO to exclude Transworld I....

The next point made out by the assessee is with regard to the inclusion of items at (9) and (11) namely Helios & Matheson Information Technology Ltd., and KALS Information Solutions Ltd. (Seg). The primary plea raised by the assessee to assail the inclusion of the aforesaid two companies from the list of comparables is to be effect that they are functionally incomparable and therefore, are liable to be excluded. In sum and substance, the plea set up by the assessee is that both the aforesaid concerns are engaged in development and sale of software products which is functionally different from the services undertaken by the assessee in its IT-services segment. 17. As per the discussion in para 6.3.2. of the order of the TPO, the reason advanced for including KALS....

Counsel pointed out that the aforesaid position has been accepted by the TPO in the earlier A.Y. 2006-07 and therefore, there was no justification for the TPO to consider the said concern as functionally comparable in the instant assessment year. 19. In our considered opinion, the point raised by the assessee is potent in as much as it is quite evident that the said concern has not been found to be functionally comparable with the assessee in the immediately preceding assessment year and in the present year also, on the basis of the Annual Report, referred to in the written submissions addressed to the lower authorities, the assessee has correctly asserted out that the said concern was inter alia engaged in sale of software products, which was quite distinct from the activity undertaken by the assessee in the IT Services segment. At the time of hearing, neither is there any argument put forth by the Revenue and nor is there any discussion emerging from the orders of the lower authorities as to in what manner the functional profile of the said concern has undergone a change from that in the immediately preceding year. Therefore, having reg....

Now coming to the addition of Rs. 4.63 crores in respect of Design Engineering and Testing Authoring Services Segment, we find the assessee had selected 4 companies as comparable entities for determining the ALP and finally he submitted a revised list of 2 comparables, namely Ace Software Exports Ltd., and Genesis International Corporation Ltd. We find Ace Software Exports Ltd., was rejected by the TPO because it has shown negative operating profit by operating costs (OP/OC). While the TPO retained Genesis International Transaction, however, he added KLG Systel Ltd., as a comparable having OP/OC at 33.74%. It is the submission of the Ld. Counsel for the assessee that KLG Systel Ltd., is not a comparable company since the revenue from export services of KLG Systel Ltd., is only 0.24% of the total revenue as against 100%. Revenue generated by the assessee company from the export services. 38.1 From the details furnished by the assessee in paper book at pages 570 and 571, we find that as against total income of Rs. 122.98 crores ....
