03 March 2026 For a 1-year cloud subscription payment to an Indian company, you should deduct TDS @ 2% under Section 194J (as Fees for Technical Services), provided the total annual billing exceeds ₹50,000. Ensure the deduction is made at the time of booking the invoice or making the payment, whichever comes first.
