Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
Dominant issue: whether capital gains on sale of shares held by Mauritius-incorporated companies are taxable in India given residence, treaty relief and anti-avoidance rules. The Court found prima facie that effective management/residence and Article 13's scope were contestable and that the transactions lacked commercial substance; GAAR (and alternatively JAAR/substance-over-form) could pierce the structure. Reasoning: documentary timeline, board approvals post cut-off, contra-factual tax positions and burden shift under Section 96(2) established a prima facie tax-avoidance scheme. Outcome: applications to AAR were correctly rejected under proviso (iii) to Section 245R(2); capital gains on transfers after 01.04.2017 are taxable in India and Chapter X-A applies. - SC
