Tds on contractor payment us 194c

Assessee was actually a NRI during FY 2017-18.  But TDS u/s 194c has been effected to him for payments made to him by the deductor. But 194C is applicable to Resident Indian Contractor.  But here assessee was NRI. TDS is already effected and Traces has been issued.  How to deal with the case?  Whether to file ITR as NRI and seek the refund?  Plz advice

How many days he was in India, before departure?

Was it during that period, contract completed?

If his status was not clear before hand, there was no fault of him, otherwise he was bound to inform contractee about his status. So check the reality, and take call....

he was in India for hardly 90 days. deductor had dues to pay and he credited assessee's account applying TDs. Can assessee file itr as NRI?
