Quick Summary
TDS on marketing expenses depends on nature of service. If it is a contract-based marketing/advertising work, Section 194C applies @1% or 2%. If it involves professional or consultancy services, Section 194J applies @10%. Classification depends on actual service agreement.

2% under section 194C😊

1. There are two possibilities in here. If the marketing is in the nature of doing any particular professional services then TDS u/s 194J @ 10% should be applied. Since professional services include advertisement services which is also in the nature of marketing. 
2. If no specific services are involved in the above services then it will be covered under the contract and TDS u/s 194C @ 1% or 2% depending upon the non-corporate or corporate to whom the payment is made. 
3. In your case, you need to identify the nature of marketing services in order to deduct TDS. 
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.

If we are doing the social Media Marketing through agency. let me know it will be come under section 194 C Or 194 J.
under 194C

For marketing services in India, TDS is usually deducted under Section 194C when the service is treated as a contractual work, such as advertising or promotional campaigns. If the marketing service is more professional or consultancy-based, it may fall under Section 194J. The applicable section depends on the nature of the agreement and services provided.
