We have a advocate on contractual employee and paying monthly salary Rs. 40,000/-, now my question is which section TDS will be applicable i.e. TDS on Contract - 94C = 1% or TDS on Professional 94J = 10%.??

Advocate is by nature is profession. Hence TDS is to be deducted under section 194 J . This is immaterial whether you called as contract employee. But at the same time if that lawyer is in your employee roll, that is different . Here the TDS is to be deducted under head salary

If the Advocate is Your employee then TDS deductible as per sec 192b... If not employee then TDS applicable u/s 194J. Consider the advocate as a professional if he is contractual employee...
