Vinod K Nevatia (2011-TIOL-65-ITAT-MUM) CIT (A) has rightly deleted the addition applying the decision of Kotak Securities Private Limited and Angel Broking observing that transaction fees paid to the stock exchange could not be said to be fees paid in consideration of stock exchange rendering any technical services to the assessee. Therefore, provisions of section 9(1)(vii) and section 40(a)(ia) are not applicable.
Since the taxes have been deducted from the payment made to the assessee and it is also in receipt of TDS certificate, the credit for TDS cannot be declined on the basis of an administrative action of refund which is neither envisaged by the provisions of the ITA nor in the control of the assessee. Tribunal directed the AO to grant credit to the assessee on the basis of original TDS certificates produced and in accordance with the provisions of the ITA uninfluenced by any refunds subsequently granted to R.

ABN AMRO Bank NV (Kolkata High Court) 23 Dec, 2010. ADIT, Mumbai Vs M/s Antwerp Diamond Bank
RMC Readymix India Pvt. Ltd. (2011-TIOL-81-ITAT-MUM) Law is well settled that a tax withholding liability raised under section 201, in respect of remittances made abroad, cannot be allowed as a deduction. Reliance placed on the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of India Aluminium Co Ltd Vs CIT (79 ITR 514) where it was held that whether a payment made under statutory obligation because assessee was in default could not constitute expenditure laid out for purposes of its business and hence, same was not allowable under that section
M/s Texas Instruments Incorporated v DDIT (International Taxation) The assessee has not approached the deductor to deduct the tax at lower rate. It is the deductor who approached the department claiming that the payments to be made to the assessee are not chargeable to tax in India and to determine the chargeability. Where all payments made to non-resident are subject to deduction of tax at source u/s 195, the interest u/s 234B is not leviable on the non-resident.
