11 January 2017 The Company is right deducting TDS @ 10% as the amount being paid to you is treated as Professional fee by the Company

11 January 2017 Your income is not a casual income. Income tax on a Total income up to Rs. 2.50 lakh is exempted and therefore you need to file a return of income and claim refund of the TDS
