Further, section 92C(2) mentions that the most appropriate method shall be applied in the manner as may be prescribed. The prescription, accordingly, has been provided in Rule 10B of IT Rules, 1962. In general, the CPM is used when a product is sold by a manufacturer or service provider, the RPM is used in case of a product or service being sold by a distributor, the TNMM is generally used when data is difficult to find in case of comparables at a gross profit level or where a less stricter approach to functional similarity is to be taken. The PSM is used where the income arising out of any particular transaction or class of transactions is to be split between the parties to the transaction - generally this method is applied where intangibles are concerned and both the parties to the transaction contribute to the creation of the intangible(s). In case of financial transactions, the CUP Method is preferred as the most appropriate method. Rule l0 B of the IT Rules, 1962 prescribes the following with regard to application of the CUP method:
