Dear Sumit, According to Sec 194 J , TDS for professional services should be deducted @ 10 % if such fees is likely to exceed Rs 30,000 in a financial year. In your case if it is just Rs 25,000 in a year, then you need not deduct TDS.
Exception: Individuals/ HUF need not deduct TDS for professional services, if they are not liable for tax audit.
