Finance Bill 2015 is yet to be approved by the President of India. Till such, you may say that the amendents in FB 2015 are proposals. However, once assented by POI, the new rate @ 10% of deduction on Royalty & Fees for technical services will be effective from 01-04-2015 (i.e AY 16-17)
However, you may like to go through the provisions of Sec 294 of the Act and decide.

So at the moment it is 25.75%, correct? And if once confirmed, how will it be effective from 1/4/15? I believe there can't be a retrospective amendment in such a case. So maybe they will notify a date like say 1st July 2015 onwards, correct?
