Dear Sir

 

As per section 40A(3) of income tax act 1961:- 

 

Any payment made to a Transporter for plying or hirring of transport

- In a single day

- To a Single tranporter

- Is more than INR 35,000.

- Through other than Cheque, A/c payee, Bank is disallowed under section 40A(3) of income tax act 1961.

 

In Short words :- You can pay freight charges in cash upto INR 35,000 in a single day to Single Transporter

 

For TDS :-

If Transporter submit a Copy of PAN card than no need to deduct TDS on payment made to Transporter.

pay 80000/- by indicating 3 diff day dates as fright
Thanku Mr. Jay kumar ji.. But what if truck driver does not have any pan or does not provide, how can i escape from tds laws.
You need to have PAN of Transport company and not driver. In that case you are not provided with PAN , you will have to deduct TDS at the rate of 20%
