Fees for Included Services under Article 12(4)(a)/(b) of the India-USA DTAA were examined: consultancy and support services receipts were held not to constitute FIS where the foreign supplier did not make available technical expertise or skills but transferred commercial information or provided non-manufacturing support; accordingly additions were deleted.
