Quick Summary
TDS is not applicable on annual custody fees paid to NSDL or CDSL as per judicial rulings. Such services are considered automated and not technical services requiring TDS deduction.

TDS is not applicable in this case
As per ITAT Hyderabad verdict Fees paid to NSDL/CDSL are not subject to TDS. hence you no need to deduct TDS while paying fee. and expense will be allowed completely.
It would have been a fee for technical service. but judicial verdicts have given that such passive, non-human services cannot be treated as technical service. hence it will not attract tds under any section.
