* In some cases, **Section 194J (Fees for Professional or Technical Services)** might apply if the payment is for professional services (e.g., event management or consultancy).

### Key points:

### Summary:
| Payment Type | TDS Section | Remarks |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Catering, food & beverage | 194C | Treated as works contract |
| Hotel accommodation (for event) | 194C | Usually treated as work contract services |
| Banquet hall rent | 194I | If only rent without supply |
