I need a clarification. a company is paying Rs. 1 Lac as surgery fees to a private hospital for treating one of its employee who met with an accident while working in factory. While making payment to hospital, should we deduct TDS on surgery fees.

In my opinion The Purpose of payment is to be looked. The purpose is to help the staff not expense for the company. as the Treatment of expense will be staff welfare or salary or else it may be loan to staff recoverable from him.
in all the scenerio no liability of deduction is attracted u/s. 194J as the service as taken is not in the nature of Professional/Technical as far as it concerned to The Company.
However if the expense is treated as Salary then the liability to deduct Tax attracted and again it can only be collected from employee.
Again in case the expense is treated as loan to employee adjustable from his/her salary then again the TDS attracted on advance payment of salary
