This discussion clarifies tax obligations when paying commission to a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) for services rendered outside India. It confirms that if the NRI has no 'Business Establishment' in India and the income is deemed to accrue outside the country, no Indian Income Tax TDS should be deducted. Consequently, Forms 15CA and 15CB are generally not required for such commission payments remitted in foreign currency.
