34 A Pvt. Ltd. Co. is in course of taking loan from a finance company named B. As per sanction letter B will charge 2% of loan amount as processing fees.
When I required the mangement to deduct tds on payment of such processing fees, it claimed that they were making full payment to B without deduction of tds since B will make repayment of same.
Whether it is permitted in law to make payment to B without deduction of tds on saying that B will make repayment of same to A.
Please clarify on which ground it is permissible.
If B will make repayment of same, then why it is mentioned in sanction letter that it will charge loan processing fee @ 2%.
If you are of opinion that tds should not be deducted, please clarify in which head payment should be booked in books of A at time of making payment.

It is the usual practice to mention in sanction letter processing fees. For good customers it will be waived. If it is refunded no need to deduct TDS. Book it under advances.
