Assessee was engaged in provision of Software Development Services to its AE which was provided offsite whereas Acropetal Technologies Limited was providing onsite services and had booked expenditure on account of technical sub-contractors under the head 'onsite development' and failed employee/sales filter applied for benchmarking and hence, there could be no comparability analysis.
