payment to a person for some technical work who is not an engineer whether falls within the purview of 194C or 194J. Whether the person should be professional?
11 June 2010
Contract and Profession depends upon the the type of work provided. As per your facts provided, he is not an engineer so it will not amount to be a professional service. So 194C will apply.
In case it requires specific knowledge, skill and also a membership of any professional body to do the work then 194J will apply.
Check, out whether the type of work provided requires specific knowledge or exam to clear and perform such work. If yes than 194J will apply.
Some of the definition of professions are >
A profession is a vocation founded upon specialised educational training, the purpose of which is to supply disinterested counsel and service to others, for a direct and definite compensation, wholly apart from expectation of other business gain.
"Occupation, practice, or vocation requiring mastery of a complex set of knowledge and skills through formal education and/or practical experience. Every organized profession (accounting, law, medicine, etc.) is governed by its respective professional body."
I hope , it will make you clear about difference between profession and contract.
