1. It is very amusing to observe that sec 194C is applicable if the payment made to the other person during the year exceeds Rs. 1 lakhs. For considering the threshold limit for the purpose of sec 194C, GST component is included.
2. Going by the provision it clearly states that "sums credited or paid or likely to be credited or paid during the financial year exceeds one lakh rupees". So if the sum paid during the year to a party exceeds Rs. 1 lakh then TDS u/s 194C needs to be deducted. But at the time of deducting the amount of TDS GST component should be excluded. As explained by Mr. Pravin.
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
