matter was that the assessee has paid the amount of commission to foreign
agents for the services rendered by them outside India. The assessee also
cited the judgment in the case of The commissioner of Income Tax Vs.
Kikani Exports Pvt. Ltd. (2014) 369 ITR 96 (Mad.) wherein it was held that
the services rendered by the non-resident agent can at best be called as a
service for completion of the export commitment and would not fall within the
definition of fees for technical services and therefore, section 9 of the Act is
not applicable to the instant case and consequently, section 195 of the Act
does not come into play. The assessee has further submitted that it is a
settled position of law that the retainer ship charges/commission paid to
overseas non-resident agents for promoting assessee‟s business in foreign
countries is not in the nature of fees for technical services and therefore, is
not liable to be taxed in India. The assessee has relied on the following
decisions:
The Income Tax Act, 1961

reported in 425 ITR 700 (Bombay). In this case, the Hon‟ble Bombay High
Court had held that Section 14A would not apply when no exempt income
was received or was receivable during the relevant previous year. That when
