2018 (2) TMI 513 - HC - Income TaxRevision u/s 263 - subsequent Treaty will automatically apply to the present India- Netherlands DTAA also - Held that:- This Court is of the view that the impugned order passed by the CIT (IT) under Section 264 of the Act on 30.3.2016 cannot hold the field and the same deserves to be set aside. As far as the issue of there being a requirement of issuing a separate Notification for enforcing the later Treaty with another OECD country, viz., Finland, in the present case is concerned, this Court does not find any justification in the contentions raised on behalf of the Revenue, that such a Notification was required to be issued by the Government of India to enforce such later Treaty between India – Finland in the present case. The Protocol clause quoted above in the India- Netherlands DTAA itself provide for such automatic application of subsequent Treaty, to the India–Netherlands Treaty in hand and therefore, no such separate Notification was envisaged to be issued for enforcing such subsequent Treaty with another OECD country, viz., Finland, to be made applicable to the facts of the present case. The two reasons assigned by CIT (IT) in the impugned order, are no longer sustainable and therefore, the impugned order cannot be sustained in the eye of law. - Decided in favour of assessee
