it has been decided by the Honourable Mumbai Tribunal in the case of Kotak Securities Ltd. vs. Addl. CIT (2008) 25 SOT 440 (Mum.) that Transaction fees paid to stock exchange can not be said to be a fee paid in consideration of stock exchange rendering any technical services to the assessee. The provisions of section 194J were not attracted, therefore, there was no obligation on the part of the assessee to deduct tax at source consequently, the provisions of section 40(a)(ia) were also not attracted.
