09 May 2012 There are lot of cases on the subject wherein it has been held that the TDS liability shall not be there . However off late there has been a lot of cases which have held that TDS liability is there.

So in my view the assessee has to take a call regarding TDS deduction,keeping in mind the various judgements.
