The dominant issue was whether receipts from bandwidth charges earned by a Singapore-resident company were taxable in India as "royalty" under section 9(1)(vi) or as royalty under Article 12(3) of the India-Singapore DTAA. Following the binding precedent in the taxpayer's own case for earlier years, the tribunal held that bandwidth charges do not constitute consideration for the use of, or right to use, any copyright, process, or equipment so as to fall within the statutory or treaty definition of royalty.
