Yes, your organization is liable to deduct TDS on monthly payments to the priest. The applicable section is Section 194J of the Income Tax Act, which covers fees for professional services. - TDS is applicable at 10% on payments exceeding ₹30,000/year.
- Even if the expense is booked under "donation" and added back to profit (i.e., not claimed as deduction), TDS liability arises at the time of payment or credit, not based on its treatment in P&L.
