Dear Shruti,
I have reservations regarding non applicability of tds for txn just mentioned by some members during discussion.
I woul like to recall the Guidelines pursuant to supremen court decision in Associated Cement Co. Ltd V CIT (1993) 201 ITR 435, The CBDT hasissued guidleines regarding applicability of provisions of section 194C.
Section 194C applies to all types of contract including the service contract.
The txn narrtaed by you says that is an txn for servide of DG Sets and Improving the efficiency of DG Sets.Definately it is not a Contract for Sale of Goods nor it is a works contract.It is a service contract and porperty in DG Set was not of the vendor. Also by entering into this contract there is nothing that vendor has created a asset which will be utilised only by you
My view is TDS under 194C will be deducted.
