In accordance with sub-clause (e) of clause (iv) of explanation of section 194C which defines work, clearly specifies that:
where the product is being supplied according to specification of customer and the customer itself provides material then it will be work and is required to deduct TDS under section 194C
On the other hand if material is not provided by the customer than it is not work and provisions of section 194C is not applicable

@ all
TDS deduction is liability of payee, whereas the amount paid goes as expenditure in P/L accounts of the payee so TDS provisions are applied,
if the payee is dealing in printed stationary and such items are his purchase items, not claiming expenditure in P/L account then its not liable to TDS.

@ U S SHARMA, Provision of tds is not applicable on the basis of that expenditure has been booked in profit and loss account .
Its clear mentioned in sec 194C is materail not provided for printing then tds not applicable.
