A.K. Menon, J. 1. Admit. By consent appeal taken up for hearing and final disposal. 2. Counsel for parties concluded arguments on 6th May 2014 after which at the request of both parties time was granted upto 9th June 2014 to enable them to file written submissions. Written submissions were accordingly filed by both sides. The respondents have sought to rely upon two judgments in their written submissions which they have clarified were not cited during oral arguments. Since the appellants have not had the benefit of addressing the Court on these two judgments we are not taking them into consideration. More so because they are not crucial to any of the matters in issue before us. Before we deal with the merits it is appropriate that a factual background be provided. Factual Background 3.

B.P. Colabawalla J. 1. By this Income Tax Reference, at the instance of the Revenue, the following question of law has been referred for the opinion of this Court and reads as under:- (A) Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the Tribunal was justified in holding that the payments received by the assessee company from Fertilizer Corporation of India, Indian Petro Chemicals Corporation and J.K. Synthetics Ltd. under the various contracts are in the nature of technical service fees covered by the proviso to section 9(1)(vii) and are, therefore, exempt from tax? 2.
