Nilam,

Considering the DTAA between India and Demark, my opnion would be as under :

 

1) If the Demark  based Contrator has PE in India, then it would be a taxable income in India and would be covered under Article 7 of the DTAA

 

2) As per your question, I assume that there is no PE in India, so as per Article 13 of the DTAA, WHT @ 20% is to be deducted in the case.

 

Hope this helps..
