According to Circular no. 7 dt. 22/10/2009, CBDT had withdrawn Circular No. 23 dt. 23/07/1969. Is withdrawl of Circular No. 23 applicable from immediate effect? Kindly let me know that if any indian company pays commission on exports to a foreign agent, does the liability of TDS arises on the Indian Company as per the circular as the liability of same was not there earlier as per Section 9 of the i.T.Act.

In my view, if the liability does not arise as per sec 9, then there is no need to deduct TDS.
The circular is withdrawn, as it was being wrongly interpreted by some users which was not in accordance with prov of IT Act.
