hi all, we are purchasing various items in which the supplier charges seperately for freight amount separately in the bill for transporting the material on my premises. now my question is, are we liable for deducting TDS on freight amount or no as we are not dealing with the transporter directly. the supplier is dealing. we are simply reimbursing on account of freight charged separartely in the purchase bill
