In my view TDS may not be deducted for a purchase of software.However in which section of IT act mentioned TDS 20% as you have mentioned in your query?????

Under section 195(1), if the PAN is not available for the Foreign company in India, then TDS on such payments need to be deducted at 20%, higher rate

1. Make sure that custom intimation is made 2. if the software is used for the own purpose of downloader and 3. the software is not taken on hire then the requirement of TDS shall not be there.
Also 20% is provided under sec 206AA and not 195(1).
