10 January 2011 Dear Sir,

As far as i know, Services are defined in Service Tax Act ie. Finance Act, 1994 not in Income TAx act, 1961.

Further, I respect and agree to your opinioin but please explain why TDS is not applicable in such cases.

Please explain your answer wiht reference of LAW. ie wording of Section 194C of Income Tax Act, 1961.

Thanks & Regards

10 January 2011 Please read carefully provision of sub-section (6) and then the definition of 'goods carriage' from clause of explanation to sec. 194C. When there are definitions in the IT Act itself, these can can not be imported from other enactments.
