Got it! Here’s a clear answer for your query:
---
### Is TDS applicable on inauguration (dinner) expenses paid to a proprietor for Rs. 4 lakhs?
**Yes, TDS is applicable under Section 194C (Payment to Contractors)**
**Reasoning:**
* Section 194C covers payment to contractors or for carrying out any work (including supply of labor for carrying out any work).
* Even though the payment is for inauguration dinner expenses, if it’s considered as **contract work** or **service** (like event management, catering, or supply of food and related services), it falls under Section 194C.
* Since the payee is a **proprietorship concern**, TDS is applicable at the rate of **1%** if they have a PAN, else **20%**.
---
### What you should do:
* Deduct TDS @1% on Rs. 4,00,000 = Rs. 4,000 (if PAN available).
* Deposit the TDS and issue Form 16A to the proprietor.
* File TDS returns accordingly.
---
### If you do not deduct TDS
* The company (payer) will be liable to pay interest and penalty.
* The expense may be disallowed under section 40(a)(ia) in income tax assessment.

If you want, I can help draft a simple TDS deduction letter or assist with other formalities. Would you like that?
