I Just a B.com graduate and I am redering some professional Services & Some other Services ( Data Entry Services )& Sowrcing manpoer.
TDS deducted on professional income of Rs 8,000,000 of u/s 194 J & on other services on total amount of Rs 7,00,000 under some other sectione. Would I be liable for Tax Audit. If Yes the under which provision. Tax audit date has also passed. Advice what to do
In my opinion, to be called professional, one need to have professional qualification.
It's clear that TDS is being deducted under 194J towards service provided by you. but it only will not amount to charge you as professional. For example, a technical qualified person providing AMC services to various clients and payment is received after deducting TDS on Professional but due to this he/she can not be considered professional.
SO, you will not be covered under 44AB and in said section professional service has been defined.

But I am receiving the Professional Income of Rs 8,00,000 and TDS is deduted under right nomencleture. My point is , in the same firm name & same bank account if i am getting professional income as well as other income then to check tax audit applicability should i bifurcate both income. It will be great help if you can mention any case law regarding the same
