In your case, You will have to deduct TDS @10 % as per the provisions of section 194J ( since the amount paid is to architect )on the total amount of professional fee paid and not on the amount of any expenses related to some construction/building etc which many been incurred by the architect on your behalf and for which he has given you the bills etc.After deduction and deposit of the said TDS , you are reuire to issue the architect Form 16A and the architect will be paid only the balance amount i.e. Rs.200000-Amount of TDS.
