Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies when Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is required for payments made to consultants. Specifically, for technical fees under Section 194J, TDS is generally only mandatory if the total annual payment exceeds the £30,000 threshold. A single payment of £8,000, or payments remaining below this limit, typically do not require TDS deduction, unless the recipient is a director.

Limit for deducting TDS u/s 194J is Rs. 30,000 for technical fee.
Unless the amount is paid to the director, there is no need to deduct TDS in this case.
Since the amount paid during the year is within the threshold limit, no requirement of TDS.
If 8k is one-time payment, then no need to deduct tax at source u/s 194J.
