The TDS rate is applicable to whom i.e. given for dedcuter or deductee . I mean if I am a firm and payment to individual then what is rate and similarly if I paid to company then what is rate in case of contract.

Dear generally the rates are specified for deductor but under section 194C you have to see the deductee also for applying TDS ratei.e either 1% or 2%

Deductor shall deduct tax at source at rates specified in the relevant sections.

In the case of TDS on contract payments covered in Section 194C, tax should be deducted by deductor in the following manner:

If receipient of income is individual or HUF - deductor shall deduct at 1%
If receipient of income is other than individual or HUF - deductor shall deduct at 2%.

TDS shall apply only if single sum paid/credited exceeds Rs.30,000 or total payments/credits during the year exceed Rs.75,000

It should be noted that for Section 194C to apply, deductor should be a 'specified person' as per Section 194C.

I guess your query is related to section 194C . In this section , it doesnt matters whether you are a company, firm, huf or individual.... etc. ........ if you are liable to deduct tds then what you have to see is to whom you are paying. That is, if the deductee is individual/huf then 1% and in other cases 2%.

It should be noted that only 'specified persons' are bound to deduct tax at source u/s 194C. This implies that an individual who was not liable to Sec 44AB audit in the year immediately preceeding the year in which contract payment is made/credited, shall not deduct tax at source even if the amount exceeds limits prescribed therein since such an individual is not a specified person u/s 194C.
