Dear Dinesh
India has entered into tax treaties to avoid double taxation (DTAA) with many under countries. UK is one of among those countries.
SInce the UK company does not have any PE in India and you are paying directly to them a professional fees so TDS provisions attracted. However, rate depends if the DTAA is signed with that country and the what are the provisions in that treaty. The rate of deduction may be taken lower of DTAA or the normal TDS rate prescribed under the section 195.
Even if UK company does not hold PAN it will need to apply for the same, in absence of that section 206AA atracted and TDS to be deducted @20% or the rate prescribed whichever is higher.
