The Tribunal held that the TPO's order was passed beyond the limitation period prescribed under Section 92CA(3A) read with Section 153 of the Act. Consequently, the final assessment order was also deemed time-barred and quashed.

The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's appeal, upholding the CIT(A)'s decision.

The royalty and customer claims issues were also decided in favor of the assessee based on previous tribunal rulings.

The Tribunal also noted that the issue of Section 80IB(10) deduction was covered in the assessee's favor by previous rulings.
The Tribunal decided the first issue against the assessee. It held that the disallowance of expenses under Section 57(iii) was justified. The Tribunal noted that while the interest income was taxable under Section 56, the expenses claimed were not demonstrably incurred for the purpose of earning that interest income. The Tribunal referred to the ITAT's earlier order for AY 2004-05, which had directed re-examination of expenses in light of Section 57(iii) and judicial precedents. However, in the subsequent round, the AO confirmed the disallowance, which was upheld by the CIT(A). The Tribunal found that the assessee had not established the necessary nexus between the expenditure and the interest income, and therefore, the disallowance was upheld. The second issue was decided in favour of the assessee. The Tribunal held that short-term capital gains on assets held for more than 36 months should be treated as long-term capital gains and taxed at the concessional rate under Section 112(1) of the Act, following various ITAT decisions. The AO was directed to compute capital gains accordingly.

The issue of unabsorbed depreciation was rendered infructuous.
