section 194J will apply, as on payment of royalty tds has to be deducted as per section 194J and as per amended provision by finance act 2012, imparting of any information cocerning any technical knowledge and skills will be included in the definition of royalty,,,, and thus paymet for software repairing will attract section 194J.
