Reinsurance premiums from Indian cedants were held not taxable in India where the arrangement did not create a business connection under domestic law nor a permanent establishment under the India-Germany DTAA; the India branch is part of the foreign enterprise, not an agent, and was not involved in direct business so no direct-business income is attributable to it.
