Dependent Agent Permanent Establishment under Article 5(4) was examined: the revenue must prove an agent in India habitually exercises authority to conclude contracts or meets alternative sub conditions; sample distributor agreements showed non exclusive distributors purchasing, selling and bearing risk in their own name, with only a limited lawful maximum resale price constraint.
