It is a liason office under FEMA. Permission of RBI is required as without that permission the office cannot operate a bank account in India in Indian currency.
The term permanament estblishment is very wide, and also covered under the term "business connection" in Section 9 of the IT Act.
The transaction should be thoroughally examined to avoid any problem at later stage.
