Quick Summary
TDS on accounting software depends on nature of payment. Standard software purchase may not attract TDS, but software license, renewal, AMC or customization can fall under section 194J with TDS generally at 2 percent.

Renewal or purchase of software purchase license is covered under section 194J
Purchase of software not under sec 194J.
I STRONGLY OBJECT. PROFESSIONAL ADVICE GIVEN TO PURCHASE SOFTWARE IS COVERED UNDER SEC 194J
@ Vipul Acharya

It will come under software license .

Technical Services : 194J.

You may confirm with your vendor
Technical Services 194J -2%
Software license comes under section 194J purposes.

So contact service provider once

There is no need for TDS on buying a new software or renewing the licence if it's a standard product available to all. 

But expenses for customisation or AMC will be subject to TDS.

Dear Mr.JJJ, If you have any notification for it, Kindly give to us.

Thanks
