Yearly upgradation is nothing but "providing right to use for specified period"
In case of software "right to use" is prolonged debatable matter. State department want to levy tax treating it as a "transfer of right to use" on other hand service tax department saying it is not a "transfer of right to use as there is lots of restricition on right to use"
Hence as per industrial practise everybody is charging vat and service tax both on software sale. Full rate would be chargeable (i.e.12.36% for s.tax and VAT as per governing state law)
