Hi Arvind
TDS is not applicable.
The software is not designed to suit particulary to requirement of your company. so as a result of that there is no contractual obligation on the part of supllier to render professional service, so 194J is not applicable
Purchase of Software is in nature of payment for copyright
It has been clarified by the Supreme Court of India, in the case of TCS V State of Andhra Pradesh (2004) 271 ITR 401 (SC) that granting of such licenses for th use of software is in the nature of a payment for a copyright.
the prime intention is to use the article.
So as far as i am concerened NO TDS is Payable
