27 July 2025 For **shipment bill payments** to a **resident**, the applicable TDS section and rate depend on the nature of the service or contract underlying the shipment bill. Here’s a quick guide:

### 1. If shipment bill is for **freight charges/transport services**:

* **Section:** 194C (Payment to contractors/sub-contractors)
* **TDS rate:**

* 1% if payment is to an individual or HUF
* 2% if payment is to others (like companies)

### 2. If shipment bill includes **other services** (like commission, brokerage):

* Then relevant sections like 194H (commission) or 194J (professional fees) may apply.

### Summary for your case (resident party, shipment bill for freight services):

* Deduct TDS under **Section 194C**
* Rate usually **2%** if payee is a company or firm
* Rate **1%** if payee is individual/HUF

---

**Note:** TDS is not applicable on the **shipping bill itself** (which is a customs document), but on the payment made for services reflected in the shipment bill (like freight or transportation).
