194J requires me to deduct 10% TDS for technical services. This upsets the individual working for my project and is not that keen due to it.
Instead, can I make one time payment every year to individual working for our project and show it as a salary instead of going through 194J route? I understand there is no 10% TDS deduction for salary but I might have to do some PF contribution or something to justify this.
Looking forward for suggestions.
Note:
Salary is higher then 25,000. So I believe PF, ESIC will not be applicable. Only Professional Tax is applicable. Suggestions are appreciated.
