What is DIT v. Maersk Co. Ltd. authority for?

An assessee is not liable to pay advance tax or interest under Section 234B on income that was subject to tax deduction at source by the payer, even if the payer failed to deduct such tax. The provisions relating to payment of tax and payment of interest operate in different areas, implying that the failure of the deductor does not automatically shift advance tax liability to the recipient in such cases.
