Royalty payment to UK

I'm paying a sum of amount as a royalty to UK based company and If I wanted to deduct tds at 10.92% and not at 20 % do I need to file form 10f. Is it viable things to do what can I do in this situation please suggest.

Quick Summary
To apply the lower India-UK DTAA TDS rate on royalty, the UK recipient must furnish a valid TRC, PAN (if required), and electronically file Form 10F. The Indian payer cannot file Form 10F on the recipient's behalf. Without these documents, the higher domestic TDS rate applies.

The old 10.92% domestic TDS rate on royalties no longer exists; the current domestic rate is 21.84% (20% base rate plus cess/surcharge). To get a lower rate, you must apply the India-UK DTAA rate (typically 15% or 10%). To do this, filing Form 10F electronically is mandatory, and the UK entity must provide a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) from HMRC and an Indian PAN. If they cannot provide these documents, you must deduct tax at the higher domestic rate of ~21.84%.

Can we file form 10f or only they have to file it
