Issues: Whether the assessee was resident in India for the relevant assessment year under section 6 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, and whether the dividend income and consequential levy of surcharge and interest required fresh determination.
Analysis: The dispute centred on the assessee's residential status under section 6(1)(a) and section 6(1)(c) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, read with Explanation 1 to section 6(1)(c). The material on record included the assessee's claim of stay in India for less than 182 days and the plea that the departure from India was for employment outside India, which would attract the extended threshold under the Explanation. The Tribunal also noted that the assessee had filed evidence regarding residence in Singapore and the claim of non-resident status, while the Assessing Officer and the DRP had proceeded on a contrary view by applying the treaty tie-breaker and domestic residence tests. In the circumstances, the Tribunal found it appropriate to send the matter back for verification of the assessee's residential status and to decide the issue afresh in accordance with law. The grounds relating to dividend taxation, surcharge, and interest were treated as consequential and were also restored for fresh consideration.
Conclusion: The issue of residential status was remanded to the Assessing Officer for fresh verification and adjudication, and the consequential grounds were also restored.
