Sir Please explain how? It is simply the renewal fees for use of the software. It is not any technical service not an AMC. How can we deduct TDS u/s194J. Can sec 194I be applied. (Royalty) Regards

in my personal opinion, one time licence fee for use is a sale , however, if use of the word lump sum in definition of Royalty which is very wide enough to encompass the software license within its ambit, TDS u/s 194J should be done by you at the time of making payment even it is renewal(After the amendment from 13/7/2006 by which Royalty has been included within the provision of section 194J)
