Applicability of TDS on Telephone Services, Income Tax

[Ametek Instruments India Private Limited]

Dear Friends,

When our Employees travel outside India, we provide them with a International SIM card provided by Matrix. The SIM card is country specific. The advantage is that there will not be any International roaming charges and also get some free calls to India. The charges billed to us are Minimum charge+ usage charges as applicable.

We pay directly to Matrix based on the Bill raised by them.

Is TDS applicable on these transactions/ Payment?

Thanks

Ajith

In my view TDS is applicable.
