Swiss RE Global Business Solutions India (P) Ltd. v. ACIT (2018) 169 DTR 313 / 304 CTR 714 (Karn.)(HC)

S. 92C : Transfer pricing-Arms’ length price–Selection of comparables-Remand to the AO-Held to be proper. [S. 254(1)]

The High Court held that where the Tribunal had only remanded the case to the file of the TPO to examine the comparability of a company, no substantial question of law can be said to arise in challenging such a finding. It was further held that KPO was a type of BPO, therefore, under a TNMM analysis, the two could not be said to be completely different. It was further held that selection of comparables is largely a fact driven exercise and the conclusions of the Tribunal in this regard should generally be considered final. (AY. 2011-12)
