13 March 2014  

As per the below notification understood that no need to Deduct TDS for subsequent transfer of Software, my doubt is whether TDS is applicable for AMC charges or not because vendor is giving the same notification as a supporting evidence for AMC charges(for Non Deduction of TDS) for applicability of TDS at the time of purchase of Software. Please reply for this
