Accrual of income in India - period of stay in India - salary received by the assessee from his foreign employer - DTAA between India and USA - Revenue contended that, since the assessee was a resident and ordinarily resident in India during the year, therefore, the provisions of DTAA would not apply in the case of the assessee - the Tribunal found that the provisions of Article 16(2) of the DTAA are to be read together, and all conditions must be satisfied simultaneously to determine the tax liability of the assessee's foreign income. It held that the income earned by the assessee in the USA should be taxed in the USA, as the conditions under Clause (a), (b), and (c) of Article 16(2) were not fully met.
