It comes under 194C. It is a contract i.e. you are not bothered who is really doing the job (his qualifications etc.) you are only particular about only those whom you deal with like a mason / carpenter etc.
When the nature of job does not demand the qualifications of the person who should do the job - then it's contract. no profession - no technical fee.
