A manufacturing co. purchased software from a Non resident & sold the same in India in same financial year. No tds was deducted on such payment to Non resident. Whether it is allowed as expense ?

As per Section 40(i) non deduction of TDS makes the expenditure as disallowable. . In Section 9(1)(i) Explanation 4. has been inserted now to settle the issue. Payment for software can be treated as royalty, which attracts TDS provisions. .
