Enforceability of Arbitration Clause in an Unstamped Arbitration Agreement Vis-À-Vis Section 9 and Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996; A Conundrum
DIT Vs. Rio Tinto Technical Services (HC Delhi) – The payment in the present case is for furnishing of evaluation report. The fee paid is for the said purpose. To collect and collate the information and furnish evaluation report, the assessee was required and it was necessary to undertake certain tests, mapping and studies.
Income deemed to accrue or arise in India-Under section 9(1)(vi)-Income from supply of software to clients in India-Where assessee was engaged in sale of copyright software then income from such sale cannot be treated as royalty under section 9(1)(vi) particularly where assessee did not have any PE in India.
in the case of Ishikawajima-Harima (Supra) in Para 2 above. We wonder whether the proposed amendment is sufficient to provide the territorial nexus enunciated in the aforesaid decision and override the said decision of the Supreme Court. This amendment could lead to litigation. Further, the amendment is not clear as regards its applicability on income by way of interest or royalty earned by a non-resident outside India, where there is no nexus between such interest and royalty and the Indian state.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee took the first step towards implementation of the Direct Taxes Code (DTC) on Friday. While retaining the basic exemption limits for all income levels (as in the DTC), he increased the other slabs. For instance, while the basic exemption limit for individuals has been retained at Rs 1.6 lakh, the 10 per cent rate will now be applicable for the Rs 1.6 lakh-Rs 5 lakh bracket. Earlier, the 10 per cent rate was applicable for income of Rs 1.6-Rs 3 lakh. The hike in the slab means that the taxpayer is going to save Rs 20,600 for incomes up to Rs 5 lakh.
