TDS Return

Dear Jijo,

Answer is simple no TDS is required since limit u/s 194J is Rs. 20,000.....:))

But TDS u/s 194J has to be deducted on Amount inclusive of Service tax...

Plz note that Borad's Circular regarding exclusion of service tax for TDS purposes is applicable only for rent payments u/s 194 I

Dear Amir,

Thanks for your reply.

Concerning the limit under the section, it was a gap in my question - i had failed to add that this payment of Rs. 10,000 was only one among other payments made to the professional during the year.

Thanks again.
