Is TDS applicable for payment made on consulting fee paid by one advocate to another advocate?

It will surely be applicable under 194j.
but do check if the advocate's gross receipts exceed 50 lacs in preceding fy.
I think 194J will be applicable
Agreed the comments of veerendar singh

The advocate (to whom the consulting payment is to be made) mentioned that TDS is not applicable when making consulting fee payment from Advocate (Individual) to another Advocate (individual). It is only applicable if one of the parties is a Law Firm. 

Trying to get clarity on this claim of exemption and the relevant provision under the Act.

That advocate has clearly got it wrong.
you might have to argue with him. the law is very clear, tds is liable to be deducted under 194j.

Welcome
194J is applicable

section 194 J of Income Tax Act 1961 is applicable and TDS @ 10% would be applicable.
