27 November 2008 Going by the Incometax Act, the above case does not fall under 194 J. The term professional are defined u/s44AA of the Act, which provides for Film Artists. Mere participant in reality can not be equated with film artists. Film artisits are those who perform several roles as per the demands of the story, and as per the directions of the Director, which requires a different set of skills and would fall under professional. But the mere participant in a reality show would not be a professional at any stretch of imagination.
