09 December 2011 A government company appoints a limited company which is into consultancy and training to undertake CSR related activities on its behalf. Please let me know whether tax is to be deducted at source while making payment to the consultancy firm which will undertake the CSR activity on behalf of the main company. Can the consultancy approach the Income Tax department for issue of no TDS certificate in this case. In case yes, what is the procedure for getting such certificate from the I. T. department.
