Tds for contract employees

This query is : Resolved 

29 April 2014 Dear Seniors,

Please provide the guidelines for contract employees tds calculation methods.

1. Need to know 1 % or 10% TDS is applicable for contract employees.

2. Hope 3% cess is also applicable on Tax


Please clarify the above.

Thank you...

29 April 2014 depends.

if the contracted employee is providing professional services like, engineering, accountancy etc, deduct under 194J at 10%. other employees providing activities like unskilled labor etc, deduct under 194c.

2. no cess is not applied.

29 April 2014 Thank you Mr. Nikhil Kaushik.

Small doubt on your above reply. Hope the same 10% tds is applicable for 194C as well.

Also I have couple of doubts:
1. as per the income tax slab rates upto 2 Lac tax is nil. The same logic will apply for contract employees.

2. If contract employees earns less than 2 Lac per Annam, still need to deduct 10% tax

3. If yes, why and what is the reason for same.

Thank you.


29 April 2014 Hi Dhanashekhar,


First the rate of TDS u/s. 194C is 1% if payee is individual or HUF and 2% for other payees.


The exemption limit of Rs.2 lac p.a. is to be considered only while deducting tax u/s. 192B (i.e. salary payment)


Hope your all doubts will be clear now.

30 April 2014 reverse

engineers etc 194J 10%


30 April 2014 Ok Thanks Mr. Nikhil Noted.

Nikhil, I noticed from website is below.

194J - Professional Charges, amount limit Rs.30000/- Per Annuam, TDS rate for Individual or HUF is 10%.

My Query : If the amount exceeds more than 30K then what is the TDS percentage? why they given limit for the same.

30 April 2014 Hi Dhanashekhar,

If professional charges are upto Rs.30,000/- p.a., then there will be TDS.


TDS is to be deducted only professional charges exceeds Rs.30,000/- p.a.
