Payments to Clearing and Forwarding agents for carriage of goods are subject to TDS. The Clearing and Forwarding agents themselves are also liable to deduct tax on payments to a carrier of goods. [Circular No.715 dt.8-8-1995]
TDS will be deducted on total amount. Rate of TDS w.e.f. 01-10-2009 1% for Individual/HUF 2% for Others

Dear Sir Thanks for your reply but there is another confusion that no need to deduct TDS on freight if PAN is available. Is Clearing & forwarding agent is not covered undr this catgory ?
