Assessee in default - TDS u/s 201(1) - TDS u/s 195 - in order to treat the payer as an assessee-in-default, it is of utmost importance that income so paid or credited to the account of payee is capable of being brought within the purview of tax net and such assessment can be lawfully made on the payee. The ITAT also came to the conclusion that assessment should be lawfully made by AO on the payee/recipient. Since that has not been done, the order of AO under Section 201(1) read with Section 201(1A) of the Act was unsustainable. - HC
