NO NEED OF TAX DEDUCTED AT THE TIME OF PROVISION

Sorry Naveen,

I disagree to your reply.

TDS on Audit fees is deductable u/s 194J at the time of book entry or payment which ever is earlier.

Here is the extract of the provision :

1) Any person, not being an individual or a Hindu undivided family, who is responsible for paying to a resident any sum by way of—

(a) fees for professional services, or

(b) fees for technical services26, 27[or]

28[(ba) any remuneration or fees or commission by whatever name called, other than those on which tax is deductible under section 192, to a director of a company, or]

27[(c) royalty, or

(d) any sum referred to in clause (va) of section 28,]

shall, at the time of credit of such sum to the account of the payee or at the time of payment thereof in cash or by issue of a cheque or draft or by any other mode, whichever is earlier, deduct an amount equal to 29[ten] per cent of such sum as income-tax on income comprised therein.
