my client had purchased gas meters from china and now he wanted to transfer amount to china so he required 15ca, now my question is whether tds is applicable to deduct or not as he is non-resident

Generally on purchases, TDS is not appicable. This you have to refer the DTAA between India and China. If it says purchases are subject to TDS, then you will have to. Otherwise, not required. But Form 15CA/CB is mandatory.

Sec 195 itself, in my opinion. Coz it specifies some payments on which with holding of taxes applicable. Since it does not specify, TDS is not done.
