28 May 2014 Dear Mr Nikhil,
I have similar query where my client has deducted TDS @10% under DTAA, got short deduction notice as per Act. The foreign party didnt have PAN in India but they has submitted TRC and 10F as was required u/s 90 to avail DTAA benefit.
What possible action could be taken by him? Whether he should appeal against the demand order with CIT(A) or ??
Not to mention that he had rightly filled TDS statement with opting DTAA rate.
Further your views on provision of local law under Sec 206AA overriding DTAA enetered between 2 countries
