This discussion clarifies the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) applicable to hiring jeeps for worker commutation. The consensus is to deduct TDS under Section 194C at a rate of 1%. The query also touches upon TDS for software purchases, clarifying that standard software purchases or license renewals are generally not subject to TDS, unlike customisation or AMC services.

There is no need for TDS on buying a new software or renewing the licence if it's a standard product available to all. But expenses for customisation or AMC will be subject to TDS.
