X limited a manufacturer, supplied water supply pipelines for laying under earth to an ULB amounting to Rs. 8 crore. Please advice me whether TDS is deductible u/s 194C. Also advice whether VAT is to be deducted or not?

No TDS u/s 194C is deductible as it is a contract of mere supply of goods & also STDS i.e WCT is also not deductible as sec 40 of WBVAT Act does not apply as the above is not a work contract as per VAT Act
