Article 13 of India Malaysia Treaty prescribes rate of 10%.
In case if it could be demonstrated as professional services it could be covered under article 14 & no tax needs to be deducted.
The term “professional services” includes especially independent scientific, literary, artistic, educational or teaching activities as well as the independent activities of physicians, surgeons, lawyers, engineers, architects, dentists and accountants
