Yes — referral earnings paid to non-employees are generally treated as commission and attract TDS under Section 194H of the Income Tax Act, provided the threshold and conditions are met.
Section 194H governs TDS on commission and brokerage.
• Rate: 2% TDS.
• Threshold: Applicable if the total commission paid to a person exceeds ₹15,000 in a financial year.
