I have to make payment to foreign company as professional fees (techinical). Party has not furnished his PAN/He has no PAN. Please let me know whether I have to deduct 20 + 3% TDS or 10 + 3% (Payment is less than 1 crore)

206AA has been made mandatory. If the payee does not furnish his PAN, as a punitive measure tax has to be deducted at enhanced rate. Pl. therefore, do not hesitate to deduct tax @ 20% plus attendant levies. If not you will have to bear the brunt of not only he tax difference, but also interest under section 201(1A), which can never be waived.
