Great follow-up! Here's how TDS applies on **accounting data entry services** when provided by non-CA firms or individuals:
---
### Nature of service:
* **Accounting data entry** is basically **clerical or support work** related to maintaining accounts.
* It **does not involve professional skill or expertise** like that of a CA.
### Which TDS section applies?
1. **If service is by a CA firm or a CA individual**
* It is considered **professional services** — TDS under **Section 194J** (Rate: 10%) applies.
2. **If service is provided by a non-CA person or firm for data entry**
* It is generally treated as **contractual services** (like outsourcing or manpower supply).
* Hence, TDS would be under **Section 194C** (Contractor payments) — usually at **1% or 2%** depending on the payee.
### Summary:
| Service Provider | Nature of Service | TDS Section | Rate |
| ------------------------- | --------------------- | ----------- | ------- |
| CA or CA firm | Professional services | 194J | 10% |
| Non-CA individual/company | Data entry/clerical | 194C | 1% / 2% |
---
**So if the service provider is NOT a CA or CA firm, TDS on accounting data entry service would be under Section 194C as contract payment.**
