13 January 2017 @ Ajay before taking any decision I suggest you to go through section 195
You may also refer the following link https://www.bankbazaar.com/tax/section-195.html

Income by way of royalty, not being royalty of the nature referred to be payable by Government or an Indian concern 10%
Income by way of fees for technical services payable by Government or an Indian concern 10%
Any other income 30%

Can I Deduct @10% or 30%

13 January 2017 What is the nature/description of the service rendered by Bahrin's person

13 January 2017 Consultancy For New Project of SOlar Plant


13 January 2017 My opinion described above based on your clarification and my assumptions that:

1) Counter part has NO PE
2) He will not be resident in India
3) He is rendering service by sitting abroad
4) He don't have PAN in India
5) He is rendering Management Consultancy Charges

Is above points are correct, my conclusion is you need to deduct TDS @20%

Sec 115A(1) - Dedecut TDS @10% plus applicable Surcharge & Cess on FTS/ Royalty not taxable u/s 44DA
Sec 206A - If PAN is not there TDS is applicable rate or 20% whichever is higher

Hence 20%

13 January 2017 If it is technical then 10% otherwise 30%. Surcharge extra. If you are deducting 10% then You should have an agreement for services which can prove that the service provided was a technical service

15 January 2017 Deduct 10% under fees for technical services. No need for deduct 20% for want of PAN as per recent amendment, obtain TAN No. of their country instead of PAN.


15 January 2017 But India has no DTAA with Bharain

16 January 2017 Seetharaman Sir is right. As per Sec 206AA(7), failure to furnish PAN, leads to 20% TDS is not appicable for them. So you can deduct 10% plus cess & Surcharge. Surcharge if required

16 January 2017 It is only 10% without DTAA.

16 January 2017 Sir Please Correct me If I am Wrong, 10% is the only tax rate. Why we need not to add Cess and Surcharge on above, as Sec 195 says deduct the tax which is payable in India

16 January 2017 I am mentioning only tax rate, cess can be added unless the rate is as per DTAA.
