neither 194C nor 194J. there is a separate provision in the Act for tds on agency fee i.e. sec 194H (commission).
remember, nomenclature is not relevant. what is relevantis the nature of payment.
agency fees is a comission u/s 194H and hence tds is deductible under that section only.

First of all you should understanding applicability of section 194C,J and H. section 194C is applicable in case of works contract/labour contract etc. 194J is applicable on professional payments and section 194H is applicable on payment to an agent. As per fact of your case, Section 194H will be applicable.
