Dear Sirs, I have a query regarding TDS deduction on professional services. Client is a language professional and providing translation service to a company. Company is deducting TDS @10% (194J) but now Client and company signed a Contract for the service, So what will be the TDS deduction rate now? Can client ask to the company to deduct TDS @1% as per 194C? please reply with reference if any. Thanks a lot in advance

A Contract for Professional Service would still fall within ambit of Section 194J. There is contract in case of Renting of Premises as well but Section 194I is attracted and not section 194C. In the given case TDS will be deducted u/s 194J only.
