The appellant challenged the order disallowing the commission paid to the agent, arguing that it was not a genuine transaction. The Counsel for the appellant contended that the transaction was not genuine based on the Assessing Officer's findings and failure of the respondent to deduct TDS. However, the respondent's Counsel cited previous judgments to support the conclusion that the commission payment was genuine and not subject to TDS deduction. The High Court found that the commission paid was assessed to tax by the Revenue, and no evidence proved it was not genuine. Referring to previous judgments, the Court upheld the concurrent findings of fact and dismissed the appellant's appeal.2. The second issue revolved around the non-deduction of TDS on the commission paid to a non-resident company. The respondent's Counsel argued that since the company was not taxed in India, there was no requirement for TDS deduction. Citing relevant judgments, the Counsel established that the non-resident company's income not being assessed in India exempted it from TDS obligations. The Court relied on previous decisions and concluded that no substantial questions of law arose in the appeal, ultimately rejecting the appellant's contentions. The Court's decision was based on the absence of any establishment or assessed income of the non-resident company in India, aligning with the legal principles established in previous cases.In summary, the High Court of Bombay dismissed the appellant's appeal challenging the disallowance of commission payment and non-deduction of TDS.
