01 July 2011 My views to your queries:
1. Yes, tds needs to be complied u/s 195. However check with DTAA for any favorable options.
2. Yes, if PAN available surely you can file a return.
3. Return needs to be file by NRI.

03 July 2011 The question is where are the services being used, if it is in India then TDS should be there. Also as per my knowledge Saudi treaty doesn't have a FTS clause hence no TDS should be there.

04 July 2011 I do agree.
Please check if the service falls under the list mentioned Article 14 of the DTAA with Saudi Arabia. If so then the services may not be taxable depending upon having a fixed base or the number of days stay in India.

If not the income should be chargeable to tax (as per explanation of Sec 9(2) of the I T Act) whether or not the services are not provided in India; whether or not there exists a business connection.
