The word “contractor” in section 194C as used in the context of that provision refers to businessman who does contract work, and not professionals, like lawyers, chartered accountants, doctors, engineers, etc. - Moradabad Chartered Accountants Association v. CBDT [2003] 264 ITR 374 (All.).

The Law of contract determines what is a contract and there are several circumstances which determines a contract. Anyhow for your to understand the below is the meaning of contract which is governed by Section 194C of Income Tax Act.
contractor n. 1) a person or entity that enters into a contract. 2) commonly, a person or entity that agrees to construct a building or to provide or install specialized portions of the construction. The party responsible for the over-all job is a "general contractor," and those he/she/it hires to construct or install certain parts (electrical, plumbing, roofing, tile-laying, etc.) are "subcontractors," who are responsible to the general contractor and not to the property owner. An owner must be sure that the subcontractors are paid by the general contractor by demanding and receiving proof of payment, or the subcontractor will be entitled to payment from the owner based on a mechanics lien against the property
Independent entity that agrees to furnish certain number or quantity of goods, material, equipment, personnel, and/or services that meet or exceed stated requirements or specifications, at a mutually agreed upon price and within a specified timeframe to another independent entity called contractee, principal, or project owner. Also called construction firm.
