25 January 2012 If materials supplied by customer then Section 194C will apply, being a service contract. But if material arranged by vendor from elsewhere then TDS not required to be deducted as it will be a contract of sale.

Rate:
Individual/HUF @1%
Others @2%.
No PAN @20%

Threshold Limit:
Single Bill: Rs 30000/-
Annual Payment: Rs 75000/- p.a.

25 January 2012 Clarification regarding 'work' under section 194C (w.e.f. 01.10.2009):

There is ongoing litigation as to whether TDS is deductible under section 194C on outsourcing contracts and whether outsourcing constitutes work or not. To bring clarity on this issue, it is proposed to provide that 'work' shall not include manufacturing or supplying a product according to the requirement or specification of a customer by using raw material purchased from a person other than such customer as such a contract is a contract for 'sale'.
This will however not apply to a contract which does not entail manufacture or supply of an article or thing (e.g. a construction contract). It is also proposed to include manufacturing or supplying a product according to the requirement or specification of a customer by using material purchased from such customer, within the definition of 'work'.
It is further proposed to provide that in such a case TDS shall be deducted on the invoice value excluding the value of material purchased from such customer if such value is mentioned separately in the invoice. Where the material component has not been separately mentioned in the invoice, TDS shall be deducted on the whole of the invoice value.
