Admissibility of Documentary Evidence: appellate authority may admit self explanatory documents on first production and uphold deletion of unexplained...
Repair and overhaul payments to non-residents were not chargeable as fees for technical services under the applicable DTAA because the make available condition was not shown to be satisfied. In the absence of technical knowledge, know-how or skill being made available for independent future use, no tax deduction obligation arose under section 195, and the disallowance under section 40(a)(i) could not be sustained. The Tribunal followed its earlier coordinate Bench decision in the assessee's own case and deleted the disallowance.
