With the prior approval of my employer (a govt company), i made payment of Rs 2.50 lakh to a bus operator during my tour. The bus operator had issued bill in my name, as per the practive prevalent in my company. Now, my employer is asking me to recover 1% TDS from the bus operator. Considering the bill was not in my employer's name, is the employer liable to deposit TDS for this bill? Is it proper on my employer's part to ask me for TDS recovery? Please elaborate.
