if you are supplying material to your contractor for the work on same and you are charging for that than it will not be eligible for TDS under work Contract as per new definition of Work contract applicable from 01.10.2009.

Great question! Here’s a clear explanation on **TDS on chargeable issue of store items to contractors or service providers**:
---
### Situation:
* Your company **issues store items (like umbrella, torches, gas cylinders, etc.)** to a contractor or service provider.
* These items are **charged back** to the contractor (i.e., the contractor’s account is debited with the value).
* You want to know if **TDS is deductible on this “payment” by crediting the contractor’s account** (since no actual cash payment happens).
---
### What the Law Says:
1. **TDS is deductible at the time of payment or credit, whichever is earlier.**
2. If you are **charging the contractor for the material issued**, this debit in contractor’s account **amounts to payment by any other mode**, so it will trigger TDS liability.
3. **Is this amount considered payment for "work"?**
* As per the amended definition of **Work Contract (effective from 01.10.2009)**, the supply of goods or material by itself is **not considered a work contract** unless it involves labor or services.
* Therefore, if the material is supplied **separately and charged**, then TDS on work contract under **Section 194C** is **not applicable on the material supply value**.
4. **But TDS may apply if these charges fall under other relevant sections**, e.g.,
* If the contractor is providing **security services**, and you are charging material used, you may deduct TDS on the service charges under **Section 194C** (work contract/service contract).
* However, on the **value of material charged separately**, TDS under 194C generally **does not apply**.

### Summary:
| Aspect | TDS Applicability | Section |
| ------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| Material charged separately to contractor | **No TDS under Section 194C** | - |
| Payment for services (including use of material) | **TDS applicable under Section 194C** | 194C |
| Debit of material value to contractor account (no cash) | **TDS is triggered as payment or credit** | As applicable |
---
### Practical Advice:
* Deduct TDS on the **service portion** of the bill under 194C.
* **Do not deduct TDS on the material supply amount** charged to the contractor.
* Make sure to clearly **break up the invoice** into material and service components to avoid confusion.

If you want, I can help you draft a sample invoice format or TDS calculation sheet for this scenario. Would that help?
