Unless it is sponsorship of seminar which could be treated as advertisement, No tds would be deducted. Of course if you have sponsored the programme, then the contract might of tantamount to advertisement and come under the mischief of Circular no. 715 of the board

Fees for seminar is neither professional or technical in nature. Very rarely it is a case of advertisement. For example say a seminar on Budget it is exchange of views and opinions and throwing light on the subject and participants pay fees for attending the seminar which also includes cost of food and stationery provided. Therefore TDS is not required to be deducted as it does not attract any section.
