It all depends upon the agreement beteen the parties . The basic issue is this that whether RS 18/- is interest or cost of shares bought back. If in the agreement there is no mention of interest and only the resale price has been fixed at Rs 118/- after one year ........then it is cost of buy back and no question of interest element and hence no TDS. But it appears that drafting of your agreement suggest towards payment of interest.........but the issue again is who is paying .......company or promoter .......whether company is going to reimbuese the promoter. Assuming the company is going to reimburese the promoter .....it is a case of interest paid by the company and TDS is applicable on Rs 18/-
