dear sir, we are a pvt. ltd. co.(1) we give ad of our product in magazine (print media). For this, we deduct 2% TDS(94C). Is this OK ? (2) Also we give ad in tv channels. For this also we deduct 2% TDS (94C). Is this OK ?

If you are deducting TDS from deductee other than Individual/HUF you are correct in deducting TDS @2%. Other wise the rate will be 1% (i.e. in case deductee is Individula/HUF)

Continuing Gupta Ji,Pl note that "advertising" is not defined in the Income tax Act,1961. Hence deductee's has to refer CBDT's clarifications regarding tax deduction. On a perusal the following observations emerges :-
1) Payment for advertisement in periodicals attracts section 194C. 2) Like wise payment to television media towards advertisement comes under the purview of 194C.
