Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the scope of 'technical services' for TDS deductions under Section 194J. It questions whether buying and selling software falls under this category, suggesting it might be considered royalty instead. The current TDS rate for technical services for FY 20-21 is confirmed as 2%.
TDS rate of 2% shall be applicable only in a case where the payee is engaged only in the business of operation of call centre. According to me, buying and selling of software shall be considered as Royalty and not FTS.
