Dear Sirs, An Indian Company has appointed a Non Resident Individual residing in Europe for finding out suppliers in Europe for the materials to be imported to India. That NRI will find out the good supplier for the Indian Companies. NRI's work is only to find out a supplier in Europe. He does not have any business connection or PE in India. Whether TDS deductible on such payments to NRI?

Yes, As per section 195 any payment made outside India or to a NR in India, if that income is taxable in India, TDS shall be deducted.
