ITAT held that the Revenue failed to establish an indelible nexus between amounts received and consideration for rendering technical services; accordingly, receipts from sale of security software to the distributor do not constitute Fees for Technical Services under Article 12(3)(b) of the India-Ireland DTAA nor taxable as business income attributable to a PE under section 9(1)(vii).
