Quick Summary
This discussion seeks clarification on whether TDS under Section 194C or 194J applies to an advance payment made in USD for professional services from a foreign country. The payment is converted to INR and credited to the foreign company's Mumbai branch. The content suggests Section 194C typically applies to works or labour contracts with resident contractors, not goods supply, and advises seeking expert opinion.

Application Of Section 194C

The provisions outlined under Section 194C of the Income Tax Act are only applicable to either

  • Works Contracts
  • Labour Contracts

However, it is not applicable to any contract that deals with the sale of any goods or solely the supply of any goods or products. 194 c is applicable to only resident contractors. 

Take the advise / opinion of an expert.
