Yes, ofcourse 194-J is applicable in this case.
As per Section 194J of the Income Tax Act, TDS is to be deducted @ 10% on any amount paid to any resident as fees for professional services if the amount paid or likely to be paid exceeds Rs.30,000 in a F.Y. Since you have not deducted Tds on such payment you are an assessee in default u/s 201(1). Pay TDS amount along with interest as per section 201(1A)
