Tds on consumable purchase

Consumables attract VAT, and is not liable for any TDS.

Thank you Sir. Actually our auditor instructed us to deduct the TDS against consumables.

If you have any notification/ circular please provide.Beacuse we can solve this issue.

I am looking forwarded to hear from you.

Well, if Auditor is asking to deduct TRS (applicable in some states, as tax recovered against VAT); then he is right.

But if it is TDS, I am forwarding following link, where in High court has assertained non-deduction of TDS for consumables. the extract is as follows:

"""In view of the above, we held that the provisions of section 194J were not applicable to the assessee company.

15. Regarding applicability to section 194C, we observe that individual payments were not exceeding Rs.50,000/- and, therefore, provisions of section 194C are also not applicable."""
