TDS u/s 194J - training honorarium
Replies (2)
Quick Summary
To file your ITR for a training honorarium of Rs. 14,000 with TDS deducted under section 194J, you should report the gross amount in ITR-3 or ITR-4 as business/professional income and claim the Rs. 1,400 TDS credit available in your Form 26AS.
Training fees paid to an external trainer generally fall under Section 194J (fees for technical services) at 10%, because the trainer is providing specialized knowledge or skill. It would fall under Section 194C (contractual work, 1-2%) only if the arrangement is purely for output delivery rather than professional expertise.
With Q4 TDS returns due May 31, the safer approach is to deduct at 10% under 194J; treating it as 194C carries the risk of short deduction and interest under Section 201 if an assessing officer takes a different view.
