Tds on office picnic expense

TDS 5387 views 2 replies

My company had a Staff Picnic wherein they are billed by the resort for Rs 73,488.

Kindly advise me whether TDS should be deducted or not?

If yes, Under what head of TDS the same shall be deduced?

In my opinion, TDS will not be deductible as there is no contractual obligation for the same.

Moreover the amount does not exceed the limit prescribed u/s 194 I, hence 194 I will not applicable also

yes tds will not be deductible. according to section 194i tds will be required when hotel accomodation taken on regular basis.. 

and refer circular no. 5/2002, dated 30july,2002.
