Software will attract both VAT/CST and Service tax. so inter state CST apply.
If your software purchase fulfil the following conditions then TDS will not apply
Payment by a person (hereafter referred to as the transferee) for acquisition of software from another person, being a resident, (hereafter referred to as the transferor), where- (i) the software is acquired in a subsequent transfer and the transferor has transferred the software without any modification, (ii) tax has been deducted- (a) under section 194J on payment for any previous transfer of such software; or (b) under section 195 on payment for any previous transfer of such software from a non-resident, and (iii) the transferee obtains a declaration from the transferor that the tax has been deducted either under sub-clause (a) or (b) of clause (ii) along with the Permanent Account Number of the transferor
otherwise TDS will apply
Incase your CST registration allows to purchase the software against C form, then you can issue C form and purchase
