The Tribunal, as noted, besides holding that the Commissioner\u2019s order setting aside the order passed u\/s 201 was not carried in appeal, had also independently examined the nature of the transaction and come to the conclusion that when the transaction was between two persons on principal to principal basis, deduction of tax at source as per section 194H of the Act, would not be made since the payment was not for commission or brokerage.\u201d<\/em><\/li><li>Adverting to the facts of the present case, Tribunal held as under: <em>\u201c36.
