Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 10: InCorp Advisory, an Ascentium Group company, has engaged with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to advise on Indian tax regulations, including benefits under the India-US Double Tax Avoidance Agreement, and the related regulatory compliances.
