The learned CIT (Appeals) has failed to appreciate that the proviso to Section 48 of the Income-tax Act which is in accordance with his direction has been inserted only from 1-4-1990 and hence is not applicable for the assessment year under consideration.3. The assessee is a non-resident company. It was providing technical know-how to the Indian company, M/s. Borosil Glass Works Ltd.
