Dependent agent permanent establishment under Article 5(5) of the India-Switzerland DTAA requires cogent evidence that an Indian intermediary both has authority to negotiate and enter contracts for the foreign enterprise and habitually exercises that authority. Customer liaison, account management, administrative support, communicating pre-approved terms, and assisting an online contracting process do not satisfy that test where material commercial decisions remain offshore.
