Firstly check out the DTAA with that country & check out the rate as per that DTAA for professional services. The rate as per Section 195 of  Income Tax Act must be looked into. The rate whichever is beneficial to the assessee (whichever is less) must be adopted.

Please refer to explaination to section 9(2) and explaination 2 to section 9(1). In case of technical service the income deemed to accrue in India, irrespective of business conection. Plz chek DTAA with the relavant country. The rates for most of the countries are 10 or 15%.
