27 July 2025 For payment of honorarium cum conveyance to a faculty member at an oral coaching centre, here’s how TDS works:

### 1. **Whether TDS is deductible?**

Yes, if total payment exceeds Rs. 20,000 in a financial year, TDS is applicable.

### 2. **Under which Section?**

* **Section 194J** – TDS on fees for professional services.

### 3. **Under which Head in Income Tax?**

* The payment would typically be treated as **"Income from Business or Profession"** for the faculty (assuming they are not salaried).

### 4. **Rate of TDS:**

* **10%** (for professional fees under section 194J).

### Additional Notes:

* If the payment is purely honorarium without any service, then Section 194C or 192 may not apply.
* But since this is payment for services rendered (teaching/coaching), it falls under **194J**.
* If the faculty provides PAN, deduct TDS at 10%. If PAN is not provided, deduct at 20%.
