DCIT v. EON Technology (P) Ltd.

15 Taxmann.com 391High Court2011#3313 most cited

What is DCIT v. EON Technology (P) Ltd. authority for?

Payment of sales commission to a non-resident who operates outside India does not attract tax if the payment is remitted abroad directly. Merely making an entry in the assessee's books does not imply receipt of payment in India, thus disallowance under Section 40(a)(i) is not warranted.
