For **ownership royalty** paid to an individual sub-contractor like a quarry owner for providing the mining license, the relevant TDS section depends on the nature of payment:
* **Section 194C** applies to **payment to contractors or subcontractors** for carrying out any work (including supply of labor for carrying out work).
* **Section 194J** applies to **fees for professional or technical services**, including royalty payments.
---
### In your case:
* The payment is for **ownership royalty** for **mining license**, which is basically a royalty payment for using a property/license.
* **This is NOT a payment for work or contract service.**
* So, **TDS should be deducted under Section 194J (Fees for professional or technical services including royalty).**
---
### Summary:
| Payment Type | TDS Section Applicable |
| -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| Ownership royalty to quarry owner (mining license) | Section 194J |
| Payment for contract work or labor | Section 194C |
---
**Note:** Make sure to check if the individual has provided a PAN to apply correct TDS rate, and if the payment qualifies as royalty under Income Tax Act definition.
