Hi, one of the party, gave us the bill of orchestra and on that bill, there was no PAN No. of party. This bill was of amount Rs. 12,000. Should we deduct TDS while making payment to him. i m asking this question in view of Amendment applicable from 1.4.2010 that those who doesnt provide PAN No. will be liable for the deduction @ 20%.
TDS on Professional fees shall b deducted only if amount of bill exeeds Rs.20000/-. Here the amount of bill is only Rs. 12000/-. Hence there is no question of dedution of TDS.

The TDS on this will be applicable u/s 194C only if the orchestra fees paid is > 30K in a year. If PAN is not provided in that case TDS would be 20%.
