Tds on vat portion

Hello,

I need to know if TDS can be deducted on VAT portion as well.

We work for the Govt organisations (defence). We are required to raise 2 bills.. one for the material amount and second for the VAT amount. The VAT amount is paid on actual basis i.e. it a reimbursement after the VAT is actually paid.
Our customer is deducting TDS on Both the bills under sec 194C.

I do not understand why TDS is being deducted on VAT portion. We only collect and pay it to the government. Where is income portion in this? Plus in our case, we pay first and then get reimbursed for VAT. I tried looking for answers in the APVAT Act, but couldn't find any solution.

Please reply with relevant refernce to a section/notification.

Thats ok Ankit. I understand that we can take it as credit and the whole concept of TDS and VAT credit. My quesion is different here. I would understand the deduction of TDS on if we raise a single bill.

As far as I know, they are going by the TDS provisions which says deduction on amount paid- irrespective of what is the amount. Even a 2% here actually is a huge amount in our case.

Looking for more answers with references to sections/notifications.
