| Though domestic TDS Sections such as 194C or 194J also says “Any person responsible for paying…. “, but it does not oblige non-resident to make TDS while making payment, because, that amounts to extra-territorial operations for which Income Tax Act does not have any authority upon non-resident WRT TDS recovery.

When DTAA is applicable, TDS would be made at the time of payment instead of accrual basis | To take the advantage of DTAA, one has to obtain the PAN and Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) of the non-resident. | |
