TDS is not applicable on such contracts.
.
The provisions of sec. 194C would apply in respect of a contract for supply of any article or thing as per prescribed specifications only if it is a contract for work and not a contract for sale as per the principles in this regard laid down in para 7(vi) of Circular No. 681, dated 8-3-1994.
- Circular No. 13/2006, dated 13-12-2006.

Circular No. 681, dated 8-3-1994 of the Board clarifies in para 7(vi) that the provisions of sec. 194C would not apply to contracts for sale of goods and further clarifies that where the property in the article or thing so fabricated passes from the fabricator-contractor to the assessee only after such article or thing is delivered to the assessee, such contract would be a contract for sale and so outside the purview of section 194C.
.
Here, the contractor undertakes to supply furniture fabricated/manufactured according to the specifications given by the assessee and the property in such furniture passes to the assessee only after such furniture is delivered. Hence, the contract will be a contract for sale and as such outside the purview of sec. 194C.
