Applicability of TDS - *TDS Applicability*: TDS is applicable on payments made for services rendered, including fees charged for issuing certificates like COO.
Section and Rate - *Section 194J*: TDS on professional fees, including fees for technical services, is covered under Section 194J of the Income Tax Act. -
*TDS Rate*: The TDS rate for Section 194J is typically 10% (plus applicable surcharge and cess) for payments exceeding the threshold limit. Threshold Limit -
