ITAT held that receipts characterised as fees for technical services could not be taxed in India under the residuary Article 22 of the India-Thailand DTAA merely because the treaty lacks a specific FTS article; such income was treated as business income, and in the absence of a permanent establishment in India, the related addition was deleted.
