27 July 2025 Regarding **TDS on automobile service provider** (vehicle servicing including parts and labor):

### Key points:

* **Section 194C** applies to payments to contractors for carrying out any work (including supply of labor).
* Vehicle servicing generally qualifies as a "work" under section 194C.
* TDS @1% (for individual/HUF) or 2% (others) is to be deducted if payment exceeds ₹30,000 per contract or per transaction.
* No written contract is mandatory for TDS deduction if the payment is for services that qualify as contract work.
* If the payment is for **pure supply of goods (only parts, no labor)**, TDS under 194C is **not applicable**.
* If the payment includes **both parts and service (labor/repair work)**, entire amount is subject to TDS under 194C.

---

### Practical takeaways:

* Check the bill: If it includes labor charges (service) along with parts, TDS deduction under 194C is required.
* TDS is to be deducted irrespective of any written contract.
* Threshold limit: If payment in a single transaction exceeds ₹30,000, deduct TDS.
* Deduct TDS on the entire amount (parts + service) if service is involved.
