Primary Health Center are periphery units under National Health Mission of Government of India. However posting of various staff among medical officers was made on contractual basis accordingly TDS is deducted u/s 194J. Hence you should go with 194J as receipts are in the nature of professional receipts. If necessary in eligible cases certificate for TDS on lower deduction can also be obtained from the IT department.
