Pl answer for this.. As per Sec 194J TDS is required to be deducted for professional services where the payment exceeds Rs.20,000 a year. Now what if the payment is made by way of Professional charges-Rs.19.000; Technical charges-Rs.19,000 and Consultancy Charges-Rs.19,000. Will the entire income be exempt from tax since the individual nature of fees does not exceed Rs.20,000??

agree, these all in subject u/s 194J so in combinedly if you are paying to one person so the total of payment exceeds to threshold limit.so you must have to deduct TDS on it.

Total amount which you have paid to party is more than 50000 than you need to deduct TDS on whole amount irrespective of the individual amount paid is less than 20000.
