Protocol to India’s Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs) with a portion of the nations, particularly European States and OECD individuals (The Netherlands, France, the Swiss Confederation, Sweden, Spain and Hungary) contains an arrangement, alluded to as the Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) provision.
