The Central Board of Direct Taxes(CBDT) has clarified the issue vide Circula No. 715 dated 08-08-1995. The relevant portion is quoted below.
"Routine, normal maintenance contracts which include supply of spares will be covered under section 194C. However, where technical services are rendered, the provision of section 194J will apply in regard to tax deduction at source."
Hence Annual Maintenance Contracts(AMC) are liable to TDS. Whether Section 194C or Section 194J is attracted is to be deduced from the nature of the contract.
