Tax will be required to be deducted under sec 194 C. To me sec 194J would cover only specialised jos, involving professional techniques. For eg., AMC of say software, software driven machines etc could fall under 194J. Further, u should deduct tax on the gross amount inclusive of service tax. Recent notification which requires the deductor to deduct tax net of service tax is applicable only in case of 194 I. For rest of the sections, tax should be deducted on the gross bill amount only.
