Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the application of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under Section 194C for catering services. It confirms that TDS is applicable on the total amount charged by the caterer, encompassing both the cost of food and any associated serving charges. The consensus is that catering inherently includes preparation and service, making the entire bill subject to TDS under this section.

On total amount that is food+servicing
It is for total, Considering you are availing catering means food is prepared and served by the cateror. So TDS Shall be on whole amount
Catering service includes various elements.

So 194C will be on the total amount
In the following cases gst is not applicable:
for personal use it is not applicable.
Query is about Tds under section 194C not about GST
