Quick Summary

Manpower supply where employees remain on supplier payroll is treated as a contract, not professional service. TDS applies under section 194C, not 194J. Billing depends on agreement terms, typically manpower charges or service fees.

25 February 2008 see, this depend upon how you have raised the biil,and what kind of agreement they have in between your client and that other company, on what basis they are allowing their manpower to work with them.

if they are providing any professional or techinical service then it wiil be covered under 194 J OR if they are manpower supplying company it will comeunder 194C or otherwise as the case may be.
