This discussion clarifies the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) applicable to a solar project contract. The query concerns whether TDS should be deducted on the entire contract value or just the installation and commissioning charges. The consensus is that TDS should be deducted specifically on the installation and commissioning amount, potentially at a rate of 2% under Section 194C.
