As per the DTAA provision a company (which is registered outside india and operating from outside india) can also be treated as resident of india if it is proved that the effective management and control of the company is situated in india.
I have doubt on jurisdiction of indian income tax authorities as to serving a notice on such foreign companies.
Which provision of DTAA or IT Act provides the right to Indian IT Authorities to serve notice on such foreign company? Whether they can ask for any information or documents?
Whether such foreign company is obliged to reply such notice served by the Indian IT Authorities?
If the company dont reply, then what are the provision for penal action?
Note: All the owner and staff of the comapny are NRI and the company is not having any permanent establishment in INDIA.
please discuss...
