05 May 2010 Actually, we are facing an issue 'whether to deduct TDS or not on Eletricity cum DG set bills'.

The Fact is the lessor of the building is paying the electricity bills himself and then raising a debit note to us along with DG set charges in a composite bill.Should we deduct TDS on DG set charges?????

Some consultants say that since Electricity is a Good under VAT, it is a purchase??

Kindly give ur opinion along with any Case Law supporting it or any reference along with it.

Waiting for ur kind response....

05 May 2010 If the Lessor is taking charges of providing DG set then you should ask him for a separate electricity bill and DG set charges.As no TDS is required to cut on the electricity charges.
