The HC upheld the ITAT's determination that the amount awarded to the Assessee pursuant to the arbitral award constituted business income rather than income from other sources. The Court agreed that the receipts were directly connected to the Assessee's commercial activities, specifically claims for nonpayment of dues related to offshore supplies, and thus fell within the scope of income from business. The HC rejected the AO's contention that the absence of regularity, continuity, frequency, and volume negated the characterisation as business income. Furthermore, the Court held that the taxability of such income must be assessed in accordance with Article 7 of the applicable India-Japan DTAA. Consequently, no substantial question of law arose warranting interference with the ITAT's decision.
