• The ruling is closely watched by foreign investors and could redefine international tax treaty interpretation in India.
• Indian tax authorities argue Tiger Global's Mauritius units were a conduit for its U.S. entity to avoid taxes.
• Tiger Global maintains its transaction was exempt under the tax treaty, challenging the tax authorities' claims.
