IT(TP)A No.966/Bang/2022.
Global E-Business Operations Private Limited.
12. The DRP was of the view that just because the company is providing cloud
based services over various mainframe computers, the company would not be
functionally different as claimed by the assessee and rejected this plea of the
assessee.
13. Regarding the plea of the assessee that this company is into high end ITES
service provider, and hence not comparable, the DRP held that under TNMM,
there is no requirement that the comparables should render the same or identical
services. It would be sufficient, if the services fall under the broad industry segment
ITES. In this regard the DRP relied on the Bangalore Tribunal decision in the case
of GE India Technology Centre (P.) Ltd. v. Dy. DIT [2013] 30 taxmann.com
249/141 ITD 245 and other decisions wherein it was observed that TNMM
requires only broad comparability.
