1. AT WHAT RATE WE SHOULD DEDUCT TAX ?

THANKS YOU ARE RIGHT. THE REASONS ARE HEREIN GIVEN BELOW:
SINCE NO RATE IS SPECIFIED UNDER DTAA,(ARTICLE 18 OF INDIA-UK DTAA) TAX IS DEDUCTED AT THE RATE PRESCRIBED UNDER THE SCHEDULE I PART II OF THE FINANCE ACT, 2010.
UNDER SECTION 195 (i) INCOME TAX @30.9 % IS PRESCRIBED WHILE MAKING PAYMENT TO A NON RESIDENT & NON CORPORATE ASSESEE (OTHER PERSON)
