JUDICIAL ANALYSIS
n Any work occurring in section 194C means any work and not a
works contract and, therefore, a person who credits to account of or
pays to a contractor any sum payable by any of organisations
specified in section 194C(1) for carrying out any work (including
supply of labour for carrying out any work) in pursuance of a
contract between contractor and specified organisation, is liable to
deduct two per cent of such sum as income-tax as required under
that sub-section - Associated Cement Co. Ltd. v. CIT [1993] 67
Taxman 346/207 ITR 435 (SC).
n Expression any work used in section 194C means works contracts
and contracts for work i.e., labour contracts, but not service
contracts or transport contracts - Bombay Goods Transport
Association v. CBDT [1994] 76 Taxman 334/210 ITR 136 (Bom.).
n Provisions of section 194C are not confined to activities of
carrying out works contracts only, but apply to contract of carrying
out other work also - All Gujarat Federation of Tax Consultants v.
CBDT [1995] 80 Taxman 460/214 ITR 276 (Guj.)
n Before a person can be called a contractor within the meaning of
section 194C, his status must have nexus in its characteristic as
carrying out work for another person as a contractor in the ordinary
sense and not merely carrying on activities of his own business or
profession in the ordinary course - All Gujarat Federation of Tax
Consultants v. CBDT [1995] 214 ITR 276/80 Taxman 460 (Guj.).
