Dear Rohit, Thanks for your reply and possible solution. >>> You can pay them their share of money in the name of professional charges paid and no tds shall be deducted on the same unless you are a Firm, LLP or Pvt Ltd Co. <<<< ### 1st of all I registered my business as a sole proprietor firm with trade license. (Is this alright for your given solution). If I paid them over 2,50,00 - 5,00,000 per annum as professional service charge should I have to deduct any TDS. Can I pay them as commission? Please let me know if I paid as commission then what is the possibilities step for TDS. Please help me. Thanks, Tarun Darbar
Dear Tarun,
Your payment comes under the preview of professional fee. TDS on professional fee should be deducted @10% if the annual payment of professional fee exceeds Rs.30000. However you are not required to deduct the TDS.
In your case, since you are an individual and not liable to tax audit, you are also not liable to deduct TDS under section 194J.
For other plannings, we need to understand your business operations, whether you are eligible for presumptive taxation or not. We need to calculate the taxes in both the scenario. It will require calls exchange of emails etc
Please feel free to get in touch with me, if you need nay additional clarification on the above.
Thanks and Regards,

Hey Tarun,
Since you are a sole proprietor there is no need to deduct TDS on any sort of payment till you become liable for TAX Audit.
So do not worry about the TDS part. You can pay them Comission/ Professional Fees anything.
It will be difficult to give you a overall commentary and tax saving measures unless we understand your business well.
A small heads up, as you mentioned that your Turnover could be around Rs.15-20L, do remember to apply for a Service Tax Number as soon as you cross Rs.9 Lacs, to avoid complications.

looks like you are in conversation with our other professional colleague. Let the same continue.
Dear Sir,
You should definitely deduct TDS of the professionals you have hired for your Business Concern.
You may show them as your employer and accordingly deduct TDS or you may deduct TDS on payment made to Professionals @10% if the amount is equal to or above Rs. 35000.
Thanks and regards
