The Assessee In This Appeal Has Taken The Following Grounds Of Appeal:

Section 250Section 5Section 5(1)Section 90

assessee had received salary income of Rs.42,58,111/- from Stanadyne LLC, USA and claimed it exemption under Article 16(1) of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and USA. The Assessing Officer observed that since the assessee had conceded that he was physically present in India ... terms of Section 5 read with Section 6 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. I therefore agree with the Ld. AO that the Double taxation Avoidance Agreement between India & USA was not applicable in the given facts of the present case. I thus do not find any infirmity whatsoever
