Dear professionals,

I have paid advance to the vendor  for purchase of gifts of Rs 150000. The Total value of the gift is about 300,000. This amount of 300,000 also include Goods and courier charges to my client. 

Please advice me about 

{i}whether the TDS should be deducted on the advance payment made to the vendor ???

{ii} At what rate TDS should be deducted?
