29 January 2011 Your question is not clear. Plese cleraly mention who is making the payment to whom.

30 January 2011 virtue of Sec 172 (1) which inter-alia states that "The provisions of this section shall, notwithstanding anything contained in the other provisions of this Act, apply for the purpose of the levy and recovery of tax in the case of any ship, belonging to or chartered by a non-resident, which carries passengers, livestock, mail or goods shipped at a port in India" . Hence the levy and recovery of Tax from Non-Resident Shipping will only be governed u/s 172 and not 194C or 194I. Kindly also see Circular No. 723 dtd 19-09-1995 of CBDT (attached) which further clarifies the same.
Since No TDS provision is applicable on Non-Resident Shipping Companies , Hence the question related to DTAA is not relevant.



31 January 2011 respected sir,
Actually i am asking about the Indian co.
both co.'s are Indian there is no question of non resident.
