Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules around deducting Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on freight charges paid to transport agencies. Initially, there was a query about deducting TDS for a consignment where the agency had fewer than 10 vehicles and didn't issue a consignment note. The consensus is that if the transporter owns fewer than 10 vehicles, TDS is generally not applicable, provided they furnish a declaration to that effect, including their PAN. However, the PAN of the transporter is still mandatory for filing purposes, even if no TDS is deducted.

Yes, TDS is applicable.

What if declaration is furnished to us ? and how to submit the declaration to cbdt?

TDS rate will be as per certificate u/s 197.

And you need to mention the number of the certificate in the TDS return.

 

Can you explain how tds is applicable in the above statement
Mr. manish i heard if the transporter has less than 10 vehicles need not to deduct tds . but u r saying otherwise. can u explain?

Yes, I missed the limit.

No TDS, but PAN is mandatory for filing TDS return. Mention in no deduction column of form 26Q. And get declaration too.

But is that benefit of having less than 10 trucks available to a deductee who does not issue consignment note
No need to deduct TDS if transporter provides a declaration of non deduction of TDS in his letterhead itself including his pan number

Is it necessary to mention Vehicle Numbers in Certificate if Transporter is having less than 10 vehicles?
