Which TDS section applied in Public Relation company case


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the correct section for Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on payments made to Public Relations (PR) companies. While some suggest Section 194J for professional services, others argue that if the PR service isn't provided by an individual with professional or technical qualifications, Section 194C for contractual work may be more appropriate. The nature of the service and the existence of a contract agreement are key factors in determining the applicable TDS section.
