TDS on cross border service charges was examined as fees for technical services under the India-Singapore DTAA, which, if more beneficial, prevails and renders the impugned TDS liability unsustainable. The High Court held that the Assessing Officer (TDS) may independently initiate proceedings treating a payer as an assessee in default, regardless of a concurrent scrutiny assessment under Section 143(3); such proceedings are separate and can impose interest and penalty.
