TDS need to be deducted only when the salary (wages paid) is taxable in the hands of your employees (labor).

14 November 2011 TAN number is required to obtained for any assessee liable to deduct the TDS;

In your case, we need to TEST as under;

whether the work performed by labour, or jobworkers?

The work is performed by Jobworkers, if raw material provided by the manufacturer and job work is performed beyond the premises. The rates are fixed on per piece basis. The TDS is required to be deducted if jobwork charges fatched the limit of Rs. 50000 per year.

If the work is performed within the factory premises and workers hired by the manufacturer directly. The same are treated as employee and all relevant rules would be applicable including minimum wages rules. No need to have TAN numbers unless taxable limit under Income Tax Act reached.

Hope, now I could be able to made it clear to some extent.
