Tds for employees on contract

It depends on the nature of work. If it is professional work then TDS would be deducted u/s 194J and if it is towards other work (as defined in 194C), TDS would be deducted u/s 194C. If such income is professional income then ITR4 to be used but if such income is business income then an option to file ITR4S is available.

Thanks for your reply poornima.

The employee is working with the HR department of the company ..so i think that would not be considered as professional services . So TDS Would be deducted under 194C ..then which ITR needs to be filed?

I think it will be considered as consultancy services and provisions of 194J will be applicable.

Yeah Poornima, it will be deducted u/s 194J. The said employee will raise invoice charging service tax if applicable and employer will pay the amount after deducting TDS u/s 194J. 

 I have perused the discussions above.

The driving factor will be the terms of appointment between the person/employer and tax payer/employee. Ultimately the onus is on the payer to deduct tax at source at correct rates - either section 192A or 194J.

Furher, a situation may arise that the person proviidng consultancy service ( if such a theory is adopted) might need to charge service tax if the basic exemption limit of 10 lakhs is crossed and comply with cumbersome service tax law !
