(an assessee, who is in possession of a goods carriage, whether taken on hire purchase or on instalments and for which the whole or part of the amount payable is still due, shall be deemed to be the owner of such goods carriage.]
 In the case told by u, the assessee is not having the ownership of the vehicles rendered on hire. Thats y, he cant claim the benefit of this section. This section is specially applicable to those assessees who owns the vehicles or had taken the vehicles on hire purchase or financing scheme.
 
(Refer sec 194C in Incometax bare act and also explanation to that Point L(ii).

since ur company has entered into the contract with the transporter, u r reimburisng 25% and rest 75% is charged by them,but liability to deduct tds has been removed on making payment to transporter from the assessment year 2010-11.therefore no liability has arisen on ur part.

yes agree with jitendra kumar. there is not any requirement to deduct TDS provided the transporter is having PAN.

 STRONGLY AGREE WITH  CHIRAG

What is the maximum limit of Freight charged to be liable for dedut the TDS, because in  new rules if the PAN card is shown the TDS should not be deducted, is it any rules for single or maximum limit of any bill of Freight to be deduct the TDS ?

There is not any monetary limit which is applicable in case of Transporter case.

HI FRDS,

PL FIND ANSWER FORTHIS

.A Ltd has purchased goods worth Rs 1 lakh from B Ltd.  B Ltd has charged freight charges Rs 1,000 and shown separately in invoice.  Should A Ltd deduct TDS on the freight charges?

WILL B LTD STILL BE CALLED AS CONTRACTOR FOR TRANSPORT AS TRANSPORT IS NOT ITS
ROUTINE BUSINESS...
