Abstract
India has developed as a major destination for outsourcing, since the evolution (mid-1990s) of the concept of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). BPOs have grown in number, size and services and have contributed to the Indian economy in terms of GDP and employment. On 2 January 2004, when the Central Board of Direct Taxes, India, issued a circular levying tax on the BPO services, many wondered if the country is alienating the foreign companies that over the years have made India their destination for outsourcing services. This case offers scope for discussion of the policy measures taken up by the Indian government to enhance, as well as tax the services of BPO operations. It tries to depict the different viewpoints of the people affected by the circular issued by Central Board of Direct Taxes.
