Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. V. DDIT The main grievance of the assessee in this appeal relates to the action of the ld. CIT (Appeals) in confirming the view expressed by the Assessing Officer in holding that the payment of USD 21,270 payable to CEVA DSP Limited, Israel, for purchase of software was in the nature of royalty and the assessee was required to deduct tax at source and pay the same to the Government.

If TPO does not reject a comparable on the ground of functional incomparability then neither the AO or the revenue can take a plea of functional incomparability of the comparables chosen by the assessee in its TP Study. We are, therefore, of the view that the assessee’s operative margin has to be held as within the range of 5% of the arithmetic mean of 18.97% of comparable companies and the same has to be accepted as ALP. For the reasons given above, the addition made by the AO and confirmed by the DRP is directed to be deleted.
