The Tribunal held that the issue of the assessment order being barred by limitation was not explicitly decided in the provided extract. Regarding the transfer pricing adjustment on ITeS, the Tribunal partly allowed the assessee's ground concerning the rejection of comparable companies, specifically upholding the inclusion of Domex E-Data Pvt. Ltd. as a comparable. This implies that the TP adjustment on ITeS was not entirely dismissed but was subject to modifications based on the comparability analysis. Concerning the imputation of notional interest on trade receivables, the Tribunal held that delayed trade receivables constitute an international transaction as defined in Section 92B of the Act. However, it directed the AO/TPO to compute and grant a working capital adjustment in respect of the 'Provision of ITeS' transaction. The Tribunal reasoned that once a working capital adjustment is granted under TNMM benchmarking, the impact of delayed receivables is subsumed in the profitability analysis, and therefore, no separate adjustment for notional interest on delayed receivables is warranted. Consequently, the ground related to notional interest on trade receivables was allowed for statistical purposes. The issues of interest under sections 234B, 234D, and 244A were deemed consequential and did not require separate adjudication.
