—In section 9 of the Income-tax Act, for the Explanation occurring after sub-section (2), the following Explanation shall be substituted and shall be deemed to have been substituted with effect from the 1st day of June, 1976, namely :—
"Explanation.—For the removal of doubts, it is hereby declared that for the purposes of this section, income of a non-resident shall be deemed to accrue or arise in India under clause (v) or clause (vi) or clause (vii) of sub-section (1) and shall be included in the total income of the non-resident, whether or not,—
(i) the non-resident has a residence or place of business or business connection in India ; or
(ii) the non-resident has rendered services in India.".
Clause 4 of the Bill seeks to amend section 9 of the Income-tax Act relating to income deemed to accrue or arise in India.
The existing provisions contained in the Explanation occurring after sub-section (2) of the aforesaid section provide that, for the removal of doubts, for the purposes of the said section, where income is deemed to accrue or arise in India under clauses (v), (vi) and (vii) of sub-section (1), such income shall be included in the total income of the non-resident, whether or not, the non-resident has a residence or place of business or business connection in India.
It is proposed to substitute the said Explanation so as to provide that the income of a non-resident shall be deemed to accrue or arise in India under clause (v) or clause (vi) or clause (vii) of sub-section (1) and shall be included in the total income of the non-resident, whether or not,—
(i) the non-resident has a residence or place of business or business connection in India ; or
(ii) the non-resident has rendered services in India.
This amendment will take effect, retrospectively, from 1st June, 1976 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year 1977-1978 and subsequent years.
