Individuals have no liability to deduct Tds for payment towards child care .

If you are business enterprise then only there can be tds liability

Under the Indian Income Tax Act, the deduction of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) for childcare services depends on the nature of the services and the terms of the agreement. Let's discuss the two sections you mentioned:

Section 194J: This section deals with TDS on fees for professional or technical services. If the childcare services can be classified as professional or technical services, then TDS should be deducted under Section 194J. Professional services generally require specialized knowledge and skills.
Section 194C: This section pertains to TDS on payments made to contractors or sub-contractors for work or services. If the childcare services are provided by a contractor or a sub-contractor as part of their services, then TDS should be deducted under Section 194C.
