In March 2013, Indian Income Tax Department issued a tax demand of around Rs 2500 crore on Nokia India for making royalty payments made to its parent company in Finland since 2006. The tax liability arose as Nokia India had imported software from its head office in Finland. Nokia India showed it as purchase while Indian Income Tax department contested it as Royalty payment. Under IndiaFinland Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) Royalties attract 10 per cent tax. At Nokia India’s request, Finland initiated the MAP process under the DTAA in 2013. The process resulted in rectified tax liability of 1600 crore, which Nokia India paid in March 2018, thus bringing an end to the dispute.

  • Coke Studio Sufi Singing and the New Age Spirituality: a Study Via the Theory of False Signs and the Islamic Ruling on Music Kalsoom Qaisar  Dr
    Coke Studio Sufi Singing and the New Age 124 Coke Studio Sufi Singing and the New Age Spirituality: A Study via the Theory of False Signs and the Islamic Ruling on Music Kalsoom Qaisar Dr. Farheen Ahmad Hashmi ABSTRACT This qualitative research seeks to explore Coke Studio (CS) Sufi singing (Pakistan) as a site whereby signs lie in that it consumes fake as spiritual. CS singers admix (semi)romantic and worldly lyrics, tend to accommodate and publicize various singing styles and genres, pivot more on physical signifiers such as visual locale and use female beauty as fetish in their Sufi performance. In all their videos, what stands out as the most visible and eye-catching sign, is the sacred Cola. The study examines how CS singers strategize their singing to dupe viewers into believing a didactic truth (Sufi poetry) within a lie. Selection of 10 songs is made out of a total of 32, rendered by CS singers on various Pakistani TV channels within a span of 9 seasons and 9 years. Drawing on Eco‘s theory of false signs, a method is devised to analyze CS Sufi singing performance as a representational sign- one type of signs as suggested by Dyer. The study demonstrates that CS singers simulate Sufi music, truncate it into a plaything or mere articulation, use it as a cover for profiteering drives and thereby enact theatricality. Via the use of New Age discourses such as spirituality, genre fusion and plurality of style and text, singers portray Sufi music as something that may be secularized, liberalized and adapted for any material end, which is incongruent to what Sufis say.
