if car is hired for specific job,..like pick up and drop of staff 194C will be applicable
however if entire control of car was transfer ed means hirer is responsible for maitnainance expences like driver salary,diesel,and repairs...then it is 194I
So 194C or 194I can be ascertained depend on facts of case

Tushar Ji if car hired for pickup and drop facility its perquisites in the hands of employee but when employer makes payment to car owner it will attract TDS u/s 194C since the car was taken for a specific job and element of contract is there.
Thanks for the responses. In my case the car is being hired for employees for travelling on official travel / tour as when required. There is no fixed schedule. The car is called for as when required.
