Dear All One of my client is making payment to US based software company for 1. Use of Software on annual basis & 2. AMC for the same software
does the client needs to deduct TDS u/s 195 or it can be treated as purchase of software transaction and hence no TDS is required to be deducted ?

The answer shall depend on the exact wordings of agreement but for escaping the rigours of Income Tax Department i suggest you to deduct TDS for both the payments.
