19 March 2008 Please inform whether tax is deductible on telephones/Internet under Section 194C. Are there any case laws to support the answer. I have seen some people deduct tax and some do not.

19 March 2008 Telephones/ internet charges are not liable for deduction of Tds under 194 C because these are not covered under the defination of "work "as mentioned by this section.

24 March 2008 I believe this case law cites TDS on internet not to be deducted on 194J but no reference to section 194C is made. Please clarify.
