Quick Summary
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. The key distinction lies in whether a formal contract for the supply of goods exists.

No it covers only works contract and not goods
If goods are part of works contract ?

If goods are part of work contarct then its is composite contract and will come under 194C. 

If the contract is only for supply goods and value is 1 crore ?

In my opinion, it will again treated as a contract and TDS to be deducted u/s 194C. 

Contract for supply of goods should be treated differently from supply of goods as normal sale. 

How about 194Q ?

If it would have been sale of goods without any contract agreement then like contract agreement executed after tendering etc. then TDS to be deducted u/s 194Q

If there is contract for sale of goods ?

Is it 194C or 194Q ?
Ofcourse it is 194Q purchase of goods.. contract is like PO it's price contract right.
If there is contract for supply of goods then it is 194Q only right ?

No, if the contract for the supply of goods exists then 194C.

If there is no such prior written contract with pricing and timelines like in tenders then TDS u/s 194Q. 

Whether 194C is applicable for contract for sale of goods ?
