The Tribunal also noted that the services were for business promotion outside India, falling under the exclusion clause of Section 9(1)(vii)(b).
The Tribunal held that the disallowance based solely on the quantum of advances was not justified, as the AO had allowed smaller write-offs as incidental to business. The issue required fresh examination under Section 28 or 37 of the Act.

The Tribunal directed the Transfer Pricing Officer (TPO) to exclude 'Persystent Systems Limited' and 'Larsen & Toubro Infotech Limited' from the list of comparable companies. This decision was based on the functional dissimilarity of these companies with the assessee's business, particularly regarding software product development versus IT services.

The Tribunal held that 'other income' should be included in the total income for calculating the net profit ratio for Ghana income, and that surcharge and education cess should be included in the 'Indian rate of tax'. The deduction was allowed to the extent of Rs. 1,02,30,909.
The Tribunal held that for computing disallowance under Rule 8D(2)(iii), only investments yielding tax-free income should be considered for working out the average value of investments. The AO is directed to recompute the disallowance accordingly.
