Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the TDS applicability for Custom House Agent (CHA) services. It argues that CHAs should be classified under Section 194C, not 194J, as their role involves clearing consignments rather than providing professional consultancy. The applicable TDS rate for CHA services under Section 194C is 2%.

Some firms treat the C H A  as "Consultants" and some as Professionals under this 10 % TDS (194 J) is being deducted. Whereas these firms should rightly be classiefied under 194 C only as they are not doing any professional services offering consultancy or expert opinion but clear the consignments by submitting required papers collected from the importeres/exporteres and see that these files are moved from one table to another table
194C is applicable section. TDS @ 2%
