But the confusion is he is not imparting any professional Service.Upon that TDS is NOT deducted under 194J. His service is termed as Consultancy and he has a contract for 1-2 yrs..This is the reason im havin this confusion.

Ask his deductor to rectify the Mistake of deducting Tds U/s194C instead of 194J.

Or else,

File Return under the head PGBP and claim expense. Either show it Business and file return U/s 44AD or else show it as profession.. whicever benefits the Assessee..
