As per me TDS should not b charged on that invoice. U must ask the vendor to raise the invoice in name of ur company, and u may pay to him accordingly(as per management policy).

As per section 194C the limit of single bill is 30000.00 up to which no TDS required to be deducted provided amount in the FY is not likely to exceed or exceeds Rs. 1 Lakh. Please note the relevant provision as under 194C(5) No deduction shall be made from the amount of any sum credited or paid or likely to be credited or paid to the account of, or to, the contractor, if such sum does not exceed thirty thousand rupees : Provided that where the aggregate of the amounts of such sums credited or paid or likely to be credited or paid during the financial year exceeds 5[one lakh] rupees, the person responsible for paying such sums referred to in sub-section (1) shall be liable to deduct income-tax under this section.

This is not a contract as such. If this is the process, then one should deduct TDS on all food bills, if the amount in the year crosses 1L. They just purchased food during a cultural programe, and this dosen't attract TDS.

@ Mr. Sandeep, TDS is not applicable if food is served in restaurant/s. It is applicable if the food is served in places other than the restaurant/hotel e.g. in an event, a festival, in factory by a caterer etc. Kindly refer the clarification of department vide circular No. 715 of 8/8/1995

@ Mrs. N Jain, I haven't notice anything regarding that in the mentioned circular. Well, as per me TDS should not be deducted on that transaction.
