Tds on amc charges (as per notification 21/2012)

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

 

NOTIFICATION NO. 21/2012 [F.No.142/10/2012-SO(TPL)] S.O. 1323(E), DATED 13-6-2012

(ii)        tax has been deducted-

            (a) under section 194J on payment for any previous transfer of such software; or

Dear sir,

I am facing the same issue,

As you have posted this query three years ago i think now you have answer of this query, so if your has been resolved please inform me in this regard.

 

Thanks in advance.......

The notification is quite clear that the same is applicable only for the acquisition of software and not for any AMC. We have advised our clients to deduct WHT on the payments made for AMC.
