First of all you have to confirm whether Bajaj Finserve is a Banking Company as per Banking Regulation act, 1949.(Furthur, I have searched in MCA website about Bajaj Finserve and it is a Public Ltd Company which may be under category of NBFC. So in my opinion,it is not a Banking Company registered under BANKING REGULATION ACT,1949 unless some Grouping of Companies may involve which lead to Complexity, So please confirm this matter on your own). If it is a Banking Company then no need to deduct T.D.S u/s.194A other wise deduct T.D.S @ 10%. Generally if Payee applies for Nil deduction to A.O u/s.197 then A.O will issue certificate directly to you which is valid Payee wise and for Period prescribed there in. So as Chander said, contact Bajaj Finserve and Cofirm the reason for their assertion.
