Hey! About TDS under **Section 194J** on technical services — here’s the gist:
### When is TDS under 194J applicable on payments to educational/technical institutes?
* **Section 194J** applies on payments for *professional services* or *technical services*.
* Fees paid to institutions for imparting **technical training** or education *can* attract TDS u/s 194J @ **10%**.
* However, there are some exceptions/exemptions:
* If the payment is towards **tuition fees** for education by an institution **exempt under Section 10(23C)** or **Section 12AA** (like charitable trusts running educational institutions), then TDS may **not** apply.
* If the payment is for purely educational services (like regular school/college fees), generally TDS is not deducted.
* If the institution is providing **technical or training services** (like vocational training, computer courses, hospitality management training) on a **commercial basis**, TDS @10% is applicable.
### To summarize:
| Payment to Institute For | TDS under 194J Applicable? |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Regular education fees to exempted school/college | **No** |
| Technical/training services (computer, hospitality, mechanical, electrical trades) | **Yes, @10%** |
| Payments to charitable trusts with exemption | Generally **No** |
---
**Note:** The deductor should check if the institute is exempted under Section 10(23C) or 12AA to decide TDS applicability.
