[S. 144C, Art. 7]

The activities of the assessee are inter laced and interconnected and it cannot be said that the assessee is carrying on separate activities by visiting India from Norway on different dates for different work to refute the existence of a PE in India. They are a bundle of interconnected services giving rise to a PE under one project. Profits attributable to PE are to be computed by the AO accordingly.(AY. 2010-11)
