UNDER SECTION 194C, @ 1% IS APPLICABLE

Question 8 of Circular : No. 715, dated 8-8-1995.

Whether section 194C would be attracted in respect of payments made to couriers for carrying documents, letters, etc. ?
.
The carriage of documents, letters, etc., is in the nature of carriage of goods and, therefore, provisions of section 194C would be attracted in respect of payments made to the couri­ers.

Dear Krishna you have to deduct tds under sec 194c for contractor. In your case it is a company therefore you have to deduct tds @ 2%. 1% is in the case of individual. I hope this will solve your query.

Exemption given only for fright/ transport charges where PAN of transporter available, in case PAN of transporter is not available TDS @ 20% should be deducted.
