Any qualification of the labourer?

Any reason for the TDS deductiion u/s. 194J? 

Normal qualification.
Instead of giving salary, the term contract labour is used and TDS is deducted u/s.194J.

Labourer without any specific qualification getting TDS deduction u/s. 194J !!!

And CPC accepts blindly the assessment u/s. 44ADA when any suitable code is selected!!

But to select suitable code is a great job... for normal labour work....

If you can do that, you will succeed in assessment.

I would suggest to go with ITR3 ...

it depends on what kind of work you are doing.for example if you are doing construction work then you can't deduct TDS u/s 194j and correspondingly you can't avail benefit of 44 ADA
These are Vedanta Ltd office staff.

Check the contract for nature of work allotted. Can be just labour job!!
