I work in a renowned media house. We are publishing a monthly magazine in which various authors all over the world write articles. We have to pay them charges for the articles. Is it necessary to deduct TDS on this payment to NRIs ? At what rate ? What is the procedure ? Pl anyone clarify ?

The payment which your are made is liable for TDS beacause this is income accured in india so it is chargeable to tax, so you have to make TDS. For rate of TDS you have first read terms and condition of contract and thereafter you have to apply section 115 or section 44DA as per terms of contract
