27 July 2025 Hey! About your question on whether payment for tea & coffee powder for office (worth Rs. 35,000) is liable for TDS:

**Short answer:**
No, TDS is **not applicable** on purchase of goods like tea and coffee powder.

**Explanation:**

* TDS under Section 194C (contract payments) or 194J (professional fees) applies on payments for services or contracts, **not on purchase of goods**.
* Buying tea and coffee powder is a purchase of goods, not a service, so it doesn't attract TDS.

So, your Rs. 35,000 payment for tea & coffee powder is just a regular purchase expense without any TDS deduction required.

If you want, I can explain which payments attract TDS in case you have any similar queries!
