in case u paid to daily worker,no need to deduct TDS in this case, as Daily workers are not come to taxable limit. if daily worker are paid by contractor and contractor is paid by u, for them, in this case u must deduct TDS as per rule.

Your query shows that the construction work is performed through contractor.
In this case Contractor is liable to deduct the TDS, labour laws and other statutory obligations.
The construction company may advised to enter into a clause in the agreement with contractor that the "Contractor" will be liable to fulfill all the statutory obligations.
Acoording to the laws and rullings, if any contractor fails to meet statutory obligations, the principle employer's (i.e Construction Co.) is liable.
