The ITAT, with the Third Member concurring with the Judicial Member, held that payments by the assessee for use of IT infrastructure facilities do not constitute "plant" and therefore do not fall within the scope of Article 12(3)(a) of the Indo-Belgium DTAA; absent the specific phrase "for the use of, or right to use, industrial, commercial or scientific equipment," such payments are not taxable as royalties under section 9(1)(vi) of the Act for the year in question.
