Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) rules for payments made for professional and technical services. The key point is whether TDS applies when payments are made on the same date. While one interpretation suggests TDS is only on amounts exceeding ₹30,000, the consensus leans towards TDS being applicable on the full amount of ₹55,000 if either professional or technical fees individually cross the ₹30,000 threshold within the financial year.

As payment under 194J will be limited to 30000 rupees so in this case the payment of 28000 rupees and 27000 rupees should be made in different dates and in different mode of payment so it might be that TDS should be deducted only on 30000 rupees
As both the fees does not exceed 30,000/-. No TDS required in any case.
Disagree with Sourav ji and Lotus ji. TDS shall be deducted on full amount of Rs. 55000. Professional fees once crosses Rs. 30000 p.a, TDS is deductible on full amount. There is no bill wise limit as that in 194C.
Sir, this is the case of one professional services and other technical services. limit of 30000 is separately given for both.
Thankyou Lotus ji. I misread the query. I missed that it spoke of technical fees and professional fees. I overlooked it to be professional fees only. agree with lotus ji on that.
No issue Raj ji.
TDS should not be deducted in this case
