This discussion clarifies the application of TDS sections 194C and 194Q for contracts involving the supply of goods. Generally, 194C applies to works contracts, but it can extend to composite contracts where goods are part of the work. For contracts solely for the supply of goods, particularly those with prior agreements like tenders or purchase orders, Section 194Q is typically the relevant provision.
