( payee doesn't 've any permanent est. in India, services recd in italy.) 3) if its not correct to pay this exp from our a/c then what will be other way to treat this transaction?

1) Not fully correct .But OK 2) Section 195 attracts if it the payment comes under "fees for technical services" (explantion 2 to section 9(vii)of IT Act,1961) vide the amendments in Finance Act,2010. 3) Subsidiary is acquirng Italian company. Better Dubai company meet the cost and pay it from there to circumvent 195.
