Hello Sir,
Can anyone help me out with my below question in regards to TDS.
We have a Senior citizen who render professional service (as an instructor/educational ) for us and we make his payment at the end of each programme which he successfully conducted for us.
Being a senior citizen, is he exempted from TDS or should we deduct the same. The instructor is not willing to work with us if we deduct TDS. Kindly advise.

A senioorr citizen is not exempted from TDS as such. if he gets an exemption certificate from the AO only then he is exempted other wise you have to deduct TDS.
