As per my opinion

The above transaction come under the preview of Fee for technical services(FTS)

as per sec 195 of the act it should be deducted at applicable rate which is spelt out us 115 A. FTS is taxable at flat rate of 25%. The situation would remain same whether or not the deductee have pan or not

WRT service tax, yes it is an import of service, the service receiver has to pay service tax

Yes if provision of DTAA are more benifical then we can opt for it, one has to refer DTAA between the country and found out
