Whether to file NIL TDS Returns?

No.. File TDS Return only when u have deducted the same as per requirement :)

for your own safeguard, even TDS is not deducted, but they are above the limit, so you have to report the same to CIT(TDS), hence filing of NIL tax return with the "exempted deductees" and their PAN number is better solution to avoid future litigations.

AGREED                 

No requirement to File TDS Return..

Freight to pay basis is required to deduct TDS . Payment for transportation charges with valid PAN is exempted from TDS

Agreed...........It is must be filed, not only to safeguard

Please refer to income tax  amended section 194C, through Finance Act (2) of 2009, No deduction shall be made from any payments made to a contractor during the course of business of plying, hiring or leasing goods carriages, (or say Transport Contrctor)on furnishing of his valid  PAN to the deductor.

This new subsection 6 of 194-C makes such transport contractor to compulsorily provide PAN to the Deductor, failing to which TDS will be made by Deductor @ 20%.

Also note that Deductor should furnish a separate return containing the details of Transport Contractors, who have provided PAN and TDS has not been made in accordance to subsection 6 of 194C in format prescribed by income tax deptt.

Now (from Sep'2010), the income tax deptt. has provided the prescribed format for filing of return  containing the details of Transport Contractors.
