If the transporter gives a composite bill of loading and unloading, then the same shall be considered for exemption. The details are to be submitted in the TDS return itself.

There is no where mentioned in the Act that if there is composite bill, then no TDS. Its pure logic.
Second thing, why TDS Return? The reason is that transport payment is TDS eligible and not TDS exempt. The only thing is that the rate of TDS is 0%. So, it is mandatory to file return.
