yes TDS is applicable u/s 194J @ 10%(i.e. Professional services or maintances)
yes pan is necessary otherwise tds rate will be @ 20%
yes reverse charge applicable to indian company.
still indian comapny has no liability for tds. it a liability of foreign comapny to deduct tds. if foreign company has not deducted tds then you(indian company) have paid higher tax.
