20 November 2014 It amounts to contract u/s 194C. (selling food at your premises can not be regarded as the daily business of that hotel and hence it amounts to contract)
And one more simple proposition of TDS. (Let the person go to income tax officer and apply for NO TDS, why payer should be worried?)
