TDS credit cannot be denied where the corresponding consultancy income is accepted as not taxable in India under the applicable DTAA. On the facts recorded, the assessee had explained that it was a UAE-based foreign company, that the income was exempt from Indian tax, and that tax had been wrongly deducted; the return was processed on a nil-income basis.
