Hello ,
I work with an NGO registered in Madhya Pradesh, India, where we primarily engage law students and legal professionals as consultants.
Currently, we deduct 10% TDS on consultant payments and Rs.208/month as Madhya Pradesh Professional Tax, where applicable.
Could you please confirm whether this treatment is correct and whether 10% TDS and Professional Tax are mandatory for such consultants?
Also, during FY 2025–26, some consultants provided technical services. What TDS rate should have been applicable- 2% under Section 194J or 10%?
Would appreciate guidance on the correct TDS and Professional Tax treatment.
Thank you
