The assessee company dispatched goods to customers, through goods carriages by road. Initially, the customer on receipt of the goods paid the freight to the transporter and later the company reimbursed the freight to the customer.
Now the question is: (1) whether the company is liable to deduct TDS on such freight reimbursements?
(2) Is the exemption given under sub-section 6)of section 194C is available in case of transporters, as there it is given that it is in case of plying, hiring or leasing goods carriages, on furnishing of PAN.
