22 December 2016 TDS applicable on service / expense (Not on business Purchase).
Frieght charges are only Rs.10,000/- & separate bill is issued then TDS will not be applicable

22 December 2016 Dear sir,

if TDS Rs 30000/- TDS Will Apply Or Not?

27 July 2025 Here’s how TDS works for your **CST purchase of chillies** and freight charges:

---

### 1. **TDS applicability on purchase of goods (like chillies)**

* **Purchase of goods is NOT subject to TDS deduction** under any section.

* So, **no TDS is applicable on Rs. 1,28,000 purchase of chillies** (goods).

---

### 2. **TDS applicability on freight charges**

* Freight charges relate to **services** provided (transportation service).

* If the freight is charged separately and a **separate bill of Rs. 10,000 is issued**, then TDS on freight can be applicable **if it meets threshold**.

* **Section 194C** applies to payments to contractors for transportation services.

* Threshold limits under Section 194C (FY 2016-17):

* Single payment > Rs. 30,000 or aggregate during the year > Rs. 75,000

* Since Rs. 10,000 < Rs. 30,000, **no TDS deduction is required on freight here**.

---

### 3. **Regarding your question if TDS Rs. 30,000 will apply**

* TDS is deducted on **payment amounts**, not arbitrary TDS sums.

* You should deduct TDS **only if payment to service provider exceeds threshold**.

* So, if freight charges or other service charges **cross the threshold**, then yes TDS will apply.

---

### **Summary Table**

| Payment Type | Amount (Rs.) | TDS Applicability | Section |
| -------------------- | ------------ | -------------------------- | -------------- |
| Purchase of chillies | 1,28,000 | No TDS (purchase of goods) | Not applicable |
| Freight charges | 10,000 | No TDS (below threshold) | 194C |

---

If freight charges exceed Rs. 30,000 or aggregate cross Rs. 75,000 in the year, then TDS must be deducted on freight under Section 194C.

If you want, I can help you draft a note or calculation sheet for your records or to share with your vendor.
