TDS on Contract

As per Contract Act, 1872 both type of contract whether written or oral are contract.

So both are considered for section 194C.

Moreover you will be receiving the bills and that is also a proof that you have a contract with the other person.

Sudhanshu is right. You have to deduct TDS u/s 194(C) if the single Bill exceed Rs. 20000 and Multiple bill exceed Rs. 50000/-

both written or verbal are considered for section 194C.

Sec 194C of the Income Tax Act, 1961 requires u to deduct tax at source when u r making any payment in pursuance of a contract...no where it is specified that it should be a written contract. So even in case of oral contract or understanding the provisions of section 194 C will be applicable.

Verbal contracts if can be proved to be genuine are always equivalent to written ones..
