As admitted by the ld. D.R., the assessee can have more than one profession. Therefore, there is no bar on the part of the assessee to have its second profession as an artist apart from playing cricket.

The AAR rejected this contention and ruled that the income would be taxed under Article 12 of the tax treaty as Royalty.
