The Appellate Tribunal addressed the taxability of payments as Fee for Technical Services (FTS) u/s 195. The Assessing Officer (AO) found the services provided by the Associate Enterprise (AE) to be FTS, upheld by CIT(A). The assessee argued that the AE did not "make available" knowledge, as required u/s 9 of the Act and Article 12(4)(b) of the DTAA. Referring to relevant cases, the Tribunal held that for FTS taxability, services must not only be technical but also "make available" knowledge. As the AO failed to prove the AE provided technical knowledge, the appeal was allowed, rejecting the AO's reliance on overruled cases.
