IF I AM MAKING A PAYMENT OF RS.75000 FOR PAINTING MY OFFICE(COST OF OFFICE:1 CRORE) WHICH IS TOTALLY USED FOR MY BUSINESS. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE TREATED AS REVENUE EXP AND DEBITED TO MY P&L A/C. WILL IT ATTRACT TDS?

Yes it will attract TDS u/s 194C as the single bill is exceeding the Rs 30000/- threshold limit. And yes you are correct it is a revenue expenditure and will be debited to P/L account under the head Office Maintenance.

If you have taken the office and using it first time by painting it then the Assessing Officer may treat this as a capital expenditure. Other wise the expert is correct.
