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. It remitted the section 234A interest issue to the Assessing Officer for verification of the actual filing date and directed that no interest would arise if the return was filed within the prescribed or extended time, with section 234B interest consequential.
