Hereโs a quick breakdown for your TDS query under **Section 194J** and related fixed deposit questions:
---
### 1. **TDS under Section 194J (Fees for Professional or Technical Services)**
* **Threshold limit:** TDS is deductible only if the payment **exceeds Rs. 30,000** per transaction. * If the bill amount is **exactly Rs. 30,000**, **no TDS is required**. * Example cases:
* Single bill of Rs. 30,000 โ no TDS deducted. * Two bills in a year: Rs. 11,000 + Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 31,000 โ TDS applies on the second bill because cumulative amount exceeds Rs. 30,000.

### 2. **Tax Saving Fixed Deposit (FD) in Partnership Firm**
* Interest earned on these FDs is **taxable income** for the firm. * Tax-saving refers to the deduction under **Section 80C** for the principal amount invested, **not** the interest. * So, **interest is fully taxable** in the hands of the partnership firm.
