ITAT held that sums paid as commission to foreign agents and overseas warehousing charges constituted business income arising outside India and were not chargeable here; consequently no obligation to deduct tax under s.195 arose and disallowance under s.40(a)(ia) could not be sustained.

As the receipts lacked territorial nexus and were not income chargeable under the Act, the revenue's additions were reversed and the taxpayer's appeal was allowed.
