- The consultancy fees charged are Rs. 1,198,000. - An additional 18% GST has been applied, making the total invoice amount Rs. 1,418,040.
Now, regarding TDS deduction under Section 194J of the Income Tax Act, there are two possible rates depending on the nature of the payment:
1. **10% TDS under Section 194J**: This rate applies to fees for professional or technical services. However, it's important to note that "consultancy fees" typically fall under this category.
2. **2% TDS under Section 194C**: This rate applies to payments for contracts. Sometimes, consultancy services could be interpreted as falling under this category if they are considered contract payments rather than professional services.
Given that the invoice specifically mentions "Consultancy Fees," and assuming the services rendered qualify as professional or technical services (which is likely for consultancy), **the applicable TDS rate would be 10% under Section 194J**.
