Our business model, we get our contract from foreign vendor which is outside India for the work outside india and based on the contract we arrange a consultant who is non resident (Foreign resident).we got our payment from foreign vendor  and out of the payment from NSC we will transfer 50 to 60% to Non resident. 

my doubt is right no we deduct tds at  the rate 10.4% as per the definition and case laws we dont need to deduct TDS kindly clarify.
