Computer softwares are designed/prepared by programmers, who come under the ambit of section 153(1)b, hence 6% tax will withheld on the invoice amount.

Dear,
This query needs clarification,
If the said software has been purchased on the basis of a contract, which stipulates conditions with regards to the post acquisition services/traning etc, then the same must be taxed at the rate of 6%.
However, if the software has simply been purchased from a supplier and no stipulations have been made, then it should be treated as a purchase of good, and accordingly the rate of tax should be 3.5%.
Let me know, if confusion still exist.
Best Regards,

âretailerâ means a person selling goods to general public for the purpose of consumption;
I think zara purchased software for use, not for resale.

One more thing, what if one purchases online while paying through the credit card. There will be no 3.5% or 6% deduction? How can a limited company in such way?

I just wanted to talk about the monetary limits. The witholding tax shall be deducted @6% (Services etc.) if the aggregate amount exceeds Rs.10,000/-
