TDS Under 194 J need to be deducted on consultant fees for his/her professional services not on the challan amount which is payable to the government on behalf of the company. The challan amount need to be paid completely without deducting TDS . However TDS deduction is applicable if the amount of professional services charged by consultant exceeds 30000 during the financial year
