Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) applies to the purchase of machinery spares classified under repairs and maintenance. Generally, TDS under Section 194C may be applicable if the purchase involves a composite supply of goods and services. However, if spares are purchased as goods only, without any service component, TDS is not applicable. It's advisable to request separate bills for spares and services to ensure correct TDS deduction.

I think 194C will be attracted in this case
It depends on the contract/agreement between contractor and client.
If the contractor raises invoice he must hv works contract registration.
spares supplied must hv seperate bill in case the contractor does not hv wct registration.

If you have only purchased goods and there was no service involved then there will be no TDS.

Further if the bill is of composite supply of goods and services, then Section 94C will apply.

If the bill mentions the service portion separately then TDS will apply only on the service portion. Please look into the threshold limit for TDS applicability. 

The query string is silent on the nature of contract .

So tds will be applicable only when the contract is a composite one.

Tds would not apply for purchase of spare parts
Section 194C will be attracted. Ask vendor to submit separate bill for spares. Then TDS will be deducted only on Maintenance Charges. No TDS on bill of spares. If consolidated bill is given then TDS to be deducted on total amount.
