Hii Bhavesh! Answers to your questions is as follows;
1) Since the software development is still in progress, you cannot claim depreciation on the same. The asset must be ready to use as as a necessary condition for claiming depreciation.
2)Yes, tds needs to be deducted on consulting fees. Here the services provided by developer is of professional nature hence section 194-J shall apply and not 194-C.
