Quick Summary
If you've failed to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under Section 194C for contractor payments, you might face disallowance of 30% of the payment in your Profit & Loss account. While a revised return is often necessary, an alternative exists if the contractor files their income tax return and pays the tax on that income beforehand. In such cases, you may not be considered an assessee in default, effectively shifting the tax burden to the contractor.

No other option
deduct TDS , pay the liability alongwith int if any and file revise return for the same.
Hi,
if tds has not been deducted for payment to contractor then while filing your return of income 30% of such amount credited to the contractor shall be disallowed from deduction in p&l.
Since, you have not deducted TDS, you are assessee in default.
but, there is provision stating if the contractor files return of income, taking into consideration the payment received from you and pays such tax for that income before you, you will not be considered as assessee in default.
Ask contractor to deposit tax on behalf of you
