15 December 2024 This above said transaction is well within the ambit of Section 9(1)(vi), consequently, subject to TDS u/s 194J @ 10% as Royalty.

However, there is an exception as specified in CBDT Circular No.21/2012 dt. 13.06.2012. If your vendor falls under this exception, then the vendor needs to submit a declaration as per the requirement of the said Circular.

If no declaration submitted either in the invoice or separately, TDS will be applicable.
