The ITAT considered the issue of Fee for Technical Services (FTS) u/s 9(i)(vii) in a case involving reimbursement of connectivity charges. Assessing whether the services provided constituted technical, managerial, or consultancy services, it was found that the services were ancillary to enabling inter-connect services and product processing, not falling under the technical or managerial category. The Tribunal referred to a judgment in Bharti Airtel Ltd. case [2024 (1) TMI 804 - SC ORDER]. The assessee earned a 1% markup on reimbursement, with the AO advised to apply relevant Income Tax Act and DTAA provisions for taxation.
