Dear Shaik
First of all, I assume such person is not an employee of the company.
The deduction should be made u/s 194J as the fee for technical services squarely fall under this section.
(On a side note, it seems Section 194J was enacted to overcome the rulings of the various High Courts that fee for professional and technical services do not fall u/s 194C and thereby quashing CBDT Circular 681 dated 08.03.1994 that had put forward such a view).
Regards
Ajay
