Security services are not covered in the definition of fees for professional services as defined in section 44AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and fees for technical services as defined in the section 9(1)(vii).
Although it fulfills the conditions specified in the definition of work contract. Work contract is covered under section 194C Payment to contractor. TDS would be deducted under section 194C @ 2% on security service charges payable monthly.
