HC held that the taxpayer prevailed: where it was established that foreign entities lacked a permanent establishment in India, the provisions of the applicable DTAA, being more beneficial under s.90(2), displaced reliance on the domestic business-connection test and precluded application of s.40(a)(i) consequences and withholding obligations under s.195.

Relief was granted to the taxpayer, and the revenue's claim premised on a business-connection basis was rejected.
