TDS on foreign-paid salaries applies where services are rendered in India, obliging the payer to deduct tax and enabling recovery.
TDS for salary payments functions as an integrated collection mechanism tied to the taxability of salary income in India; when remuneration paid by a foreign employer corresponds solely to services rendered in India, those foreign-paid components (home salary and special allowances) attract TDS and the payer is obliged to deduct tax. Assessing authorities must examine whether tax on such components has been paid, recover unpaid tax as an assessee-in-default, and assess interest for the period between deductibility and payment; penalty proceedings were not to be pursued given the nascent nature of the issue.

Supply of tangible goods without transfer: offshore vessel services classify under equipment supply entry, not mining related services.
The services of offshore support vessels-including supply, towing, anchor handling, diving support, firefighting, accommodation and crane support-are pre or post mining activities lacking direct nexus to extraction and therefore do not fall under 65(105)(zzzy). They constitute supply of tangible goods and equipment for use offshore without transfer of possession or effective control and are governed by 65(105)(zzzzj); administrative directions treating them as mining related under zzzy are inapplicable.

Exemption for appurtenant land denied where internal roads and playgrounds remain part of ownership and taxed under wealth tax.
Whether vacant areas within an industrial plot such as internal roads, approach roads or playgrounds qualify as exempt appurtenant land depends on ownership and use; municipal bye laws requiring reservation do not change ownership, and such internal circulation and play areas that form part of the owner's plot are not covered by the statutory building exemption and are taxable as part of the company's wealth.
