In a Trust, they have a programme during which they called 100 volunteers for a 4 day training programme, in a very interior place. Now, they have given a contract to a cook to cook food for those 100 members for 4 days. The cook is an illiterate. He doesn't have PAN.
Will the payment made to the cook attract TDS? Since it was a programme, a welfare activity, can it be (TDS) ignored? Is there any possibility of not deducting TDS from the payment made to cook?
