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.

CA R Seetharaman Sir, Public Relation Service is being provided to client but there is a dispute under which section whether 194 C or 194 J will be applicable. Thanks Vineet Sharma

But sir it's not a professional service as my client is not having any professional or technical qualification to provide such public relation service. It will be of immense help if you could support your reply with any reference or section or elaborate it. Unfeigned Regards Vineet Sharma
