Payments for hiring International Private Leased Circuits were not liable to tax deduction at source under section 195 because the remittance was not taxable in India absent a permanent establishment. The Court followed its earlier Division Bench ruling in the assessee's own case and the Supreme Court's decision in Engineering Analysis Centre of Excellence Pvt.
