What is the contract amount ?  That amount will attract TDS u/s 194C.  As for sale of scrap, may be TCS will be attracted and ABC will have to collect that amount from the buyer and remit to Government. 



If there is no amount involved, then what for is the contract taken by A? He doesn't seem to be getting any benefit out of this deal.

Dear Rajendra,

 

As Member said, 194C will be on the charges of A towards demolition of the building....

The sale transactions involving steel and wood are outside the purview of TDS..... So A need not deduct the TDS on the payment to ABC

 

Regarding TCS on scrap sales, yes, TCS will be applicable as per section 206C(1)....

But by getting an declaration from A, that he is going to use this scrap for manufacture or production, not trading, TCS can be avoided. The declaration should be in form no 27C (Refer Rule 37C)
