Hello,
TDS is not deductible on services using technology -- telephone charges, Internet charges, cable TV, leased lines. Payments for use of standard facilities by the public at large in which some form of technical service is inherent are not covered under section 194J. It has also been held in the case of Skycell Communications Ltd. v. Deputy CIT[2001] 251 ITR 53 (Mad.)

thanks  for  good knowledge

 

I agree with visual goel sir

Leased line internet service is subject to tds under 194J Though there are case laws negating it but none held the same in state of Maharashtra

Yes, TDS applicable due to change in "royalty" defination amendment in section 9 in finance act 2012.
