04 June 2011 1. As per section 9(1)(i), all income accruing or arising, whether directly or indirectly, inter alia, through or from any business connection in India, shall be deemed to accrue or arise in India; the expression "business connection" pre-supposes that the business is carried on in India by the non-resident

2. The commission amounts earned by the non-resident for the services rendered outside India are incapable of being deemed to be income accrued or arisen in India
under section 9
If the non-resident has no business connection in INDia then no income can be deemed to accrue or arise in india
hence no liab to deduct tax
