Sir, Suppose the company engaged in activities of poultry and the said company gives the Chicks carrying vehicles to wash the vehicles on job work basis. Whether the TDS u/s 194C attracts or not. Please advise with justification.

The scope of the Sec. 194C is quite pervasive. As per the section contractor is the person who makes an agreement to do a piece of work under his own control. And this definition is not finite to any specific job works and it covers many more things. However in your case it is not a job work, though it is done on frequently basis. It comes under "maintenance contract". TDS u/s 194C attracts only if they provide similar services to other companies as a part of their business.
