In my view not necessary but consult a local CA.

The TDS is to be made for any such payment whether it is a NRI or a resident Indian.
It is a commission amount, hence you have to deduct the due tax for the transaction before settlement of the commission amount

In my view, the payment is liable for income tax, but may entail many other clearances and formalities.

Advocate Rajamahendra Varma P (Expert) 16 November 2023
Yes, it is taxable amount and TDS needs to be deducted.
