Availed the professional service

This discussion clarifies the TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) implications when availing professional services from an individual. The user paid a total of Rs 70,000 across several dates. The core question is whether TDS should be deducted on the entire Rs 70,000 or a reduced amount. Experts confirm that TDS is applicable on the gross value of services rendered, meaning the deduction should be on the full Rs 70,000, as the Rs 30,000 threshold is not an exemption limit.
