Respected Experts ,
Kindly advise if the fee paid by the litigants to the arbitrators ( who are retired govt. officers ) is subject to TDS .

Thanks for reply .I would however request clarification on one doubt I still have on this .
My understanding is that TDS is said to be applicable here on the basis that professional services in the course of carrying on with the legal profession are given by arbitrators. This does not appear to be true in case of retired govt officers acting as arbitrators , as they are not legal professionals .Please help me with a clarification .Regards.

What do you want to clarify, or whether you are cross verifying the experts here with the answer already in your knowledge.
