TDS is not deductible on services using technology -- telephone charges, Internet charges, cable TV, leased lines. Payments for use of standard facilities by the public at large in which some form of technical service is inherent are not covered under section 194J. It has also been held in the case of Skycell Communications Ltd. v. Deputy CIT[2001] 251 ITR 53 (Mad.).
NO TDS

Further to the query by Mr. Thakur and subsequent replys by Mr. praveen, I have following 2 specific questions to ask:
1) Lease line charges as the name suggests hiring/renting of internet connection on a fixed monthly charge with assured level of service, then why it does not take shape of rental service provided and attract TDS us 194I ?
2) About Cable TV charges, if they are paid by company which has a special relevance to it (not in the sense we understand that it is used by public by and large) say a company which is enhgaged in advertisement on TV or Internet medium or say any company which uses it other than for recreation purposes then why TDS should not be deducted under Section 194 c contractual payments
Thanks

No , TDS will apply at all....even if it is contract still no ,, because there should be human labour in the work done....not by machines.....Hence no TDS apply at all neither u/s 194 I or 194 C .
