30 June 2012 The CBDT by its circular No.715 dated 8/8/1995 has clarified that the payments made by persons other than individuals and HUF’s for hotel accommodation taken on regular basis will be in the nature of ’rent’ subject to TDS under section 194I of the Act.
However, If the facilities / amenities are not on regular basis and are made available by the hotel to its customers, then they do not constitute ’work’ within the meaning of section 194C of the Act. Consequently, the circular No.681 dated 8/3/1994 to the extent it holds that the services made available by a hotel to its customers are covered under section 194C of the Act must be held to be bad in law
