as per TDS rules you have to deduct TDS. no exemption. but in Wipro GE Medical Systems Ltd v ITO (2005) 3 SOT 627 (Bang.) it was decided that no penalty can be levied on the assessee-payer for the failure to deduct tax at source. But this help in escape penalty only. if you didn't deduct TDS then exp will be disallowed.
