Actually while making the payment for dividend paid to NRI i chose a wrong section and paid TDS under 194 instead of 195. Now can i use this challan for Form 27Q or else please suggest a solution on this. Thank you

The challan can generally still be used in Form 27Q, because CPC-TDS allows challan credit across different sections, even if a different section was quoted while depositing TDS.
However, since your correct section is 195, please note that section code correction to 195 is not available through normal OLTAS online challan correction. For such correction, you may have to approach the Jurisdictional AO.
So first try filing Form 27Q with the same challan. If it gets accepted and processed properly, the issue may practically stand resolved. If there is any challan mismatch / default, then apply for correction through the AO route.
