Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies TDS applicability for individuals, particularly concerning payments to advocates. If a tax audit under Section 44AB is not applicable to you, you are generally exempt from deducting TDS under Section 194J. However, other TDS provisions like Section 194I or 194A may still apply, and payments exceeding certain limits must be made via banking channels as per Section 40A(3).

If tax audit u/s 44AB is not applicable to you, then no need to deduct tax at source in this case.
Yes, Individuals not covered u/s 44ABhave an exemption on Sec.194J.

But sec.40A(3) -Applicable, payment must pay through the banking channel.

194I, 194A etc -These have not exemption also for Individuals not covered u/s 44AB.
