27 July 2025 Regarding TDS on **annual membership fees** paid to bodies like the **Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)**:

* Generally, **membership fees paid to such bodies** are **not subject to TDS** under normal circumstances because these are **not payments for services** rendered but for membership.

* However, if the membership fee includes any **service component or benefits** that could be treated as **fees for professional or technical services**, then **TDS under section 194J (Professional fees)** might apply.

* Usually, CII membership fees are considered **non-taxable for TDS** purposes as they are subscription fees.

**So, TDS is typically NOT deductible on annual membership fees paid to CII.**

If the payment includes other services like training, consultancy, or similar, then those components might attract TDS.
