Can anyone please tell me that AMC of Computer will be covered u/s 194C or 194J.I mean that if i have made a payment for AMC of computer whether i should deduct tds @2%i.e.u/s 194C or @10%i.e.u/s194J.
My opinion is that AMC of computers are not coverd under technical services.
Please everyone share your views.It is an urgent query.
In my opinion TDS on AMC is required to be deducted u/s 194C being in the nature of normal maintenance charges on contract basis and in the absence of any other explicit notification by the Department in this regard.
Thanks for the info. but could you please tell me the exact definition of technical services. bcoz in my opinion AMC of computers are different from software & hardware engineer's services.AMC is normal maintenance and if should be coverd under sec.194j then why normal repair & maintenance of electricity and some other thing are not covered in this section.

Amc on computer is also like maintenance of any other machinery. Technical, Professional etc will apply in case of brain and specialised works. Computer maintenance is just like other machine jobs and no secret about it. Hence only 194C applicable
