Academic Degree of service provider is not important, whether you are getting professional service from him or not that must be looked into. If the payment made to him exceeds Rs.30,000 in a year then you have to deduct TDS U/s 194J.
And if the person is your employee then treat it as salary and deduct TDS U/s 192 as per the prescribed rules.
