1. You have to deduct TDS on the amount of labour charges bill and treat the material bill as if purchases made by you. Separate cheques may be issued by you for material as well as labour. Further, if work is carried out at the residence of assessee, which is a personal expenditure, is not liable for TDS deduction.
