TDS deduction 194J instead of EPF

This query is : Resolved 

28 November 2024 Dear Sir/Madam,

We have a service contract with Govt regarding social audits for different states (Block level-under MNREGA). Currently are paying salaries for 250 auditors, while we are facing EPF compliances due to non-KYC. CTC is 10-15k pm based on the no of audits. Can we deduct their TDS under section 194J instead of EPF? All employees are on a contractual/daily wage basis. Please advise. Have any circular or notification regarding the same?

28 November 2024 As the salary is below the exemption limit, no TDS liability arises. EPF is altogether different then the TDS liability; they are not interchangeable.
