The tribunal held that the network fees did not constitute royalty under Article 12 of the India-Netherlands DTAA, as the payment nature fell outside the royalty definition. The fees also did not qualify as Fee for Technical Services (FTS) under Article 12(5), as no technical knowhow was made available to the Indian entity and the services were managerial rather than technical/consultancy in nature.
