We set aside the orders of AO and DRP and restore the entire assessment to the file of AO, leaving the issues contested now open for examination at a later time, if required. Since the entire assessment was restored to the file of AO, there is no need to discuss the issue of PE and attribution of profits now, which may have to be considered when it arises in the re-assessment procedure. - IT Appeal NO. 8134/2010 - - - Dated:- 7-2-2013 - B.
