21 October 2008 As per my opinion the payment should be deducted @ 10% plus surcharge(if applicable) plus edu. cess.

Because the employee is engineer and providing the technical service to your company so it will be deducte as professional fee.

the fee for contractor can not be deducted because the rate of contractor is applicable on person who is providing the man power service. in the above case the person is providing the service not providing the service through persons.

so TDS will be applicable on fee for technical service or professional service
