It determined the correct rate of tax withholding on payments to be 4.223%, aligning with Section 44BB. The ruling emphasized that once Section 44BB is triggered, income computation must adhere to that provision, excluding other special provisions. It also affirmed that under Section 44BB, income is excluded from the definition of 'Royalty.'
