27 December 2014 Bosch Ltd. Vs. Income-tax Officer, International Taxation, Bangalore, 2012 it was concluded that Section 206AA overrides all other provisions of the Act as it starts with the non-absante clause "notwithstanding anything contained in the other provisions of the Act..." As regards the non-requirement of the Non-residents to apply for and obtain a PAN, held that the press release of the CBDT dated 20.01.2010 clarifies that the requirement of obtaining PAN No. will apply to all non-residents in respect of payments/remittances liable to TDS.

No PAN 20% or applicable TDS rate which ever is higher.
