Hey Jitendra! Here’s a clear take on **TDS on materials under section 194C** (contractor payments):
---
### Is TDS deductible on materials like stationery, cement, sand, stone chips, bricks?
**Answer:**
No, TDS under **Section 194C** is generally applicable on **payment for work or contract services**, **not on the cost of materials** supplied separately.
---
### Explanation:
* **Section 194C** covers payments to contractors or subcontractors for **work performed**, such as labor, services, or job work.
* If the contract bill includes **materials supplied by the contractor** as part of the contract price, TDS on the **whole amount (including materials)** may apply, because it is treated as a **composite contract**.
* However, if **materials are supplied separately (reimbursed or purchased directly)** and **clearly indicated separately in the bill**, then TDS **is not deductible** on such material cost.
* Similarly, **stationery** or other consumables supplied separately and reimbursed are generally **not subject to TDS under 194C**.
---
### Practical point:
* If you have a **composite bill from contractor including material and labor**, TDS is on **full amount**.
* If materials are **billed separately** (e.g., materials procured by you directly or reimbursed to contractor with invoice), **no TDS on materials**.
---
### So, in your case:
| Item | TDS under 194C applicable? |
| --------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Materials (cement, sand, stone chips, bricks) billed separately | No |
| Materials included in contractor’s composite bill | Yes (on total amount including materials) |
| Stationery (if reimbursed separately) | No |
