Consultancy and guidance supplied directly to a foreign client for its Indian business dealings do not constitute intermediary services where the consultant acts on its own account. Intermediary status requires three parties: a supplier of the principal service, its recipient, and a party performing the subsidiary role of arranging or facilitating that supply.
