Dear sir, When we open a Letter of credit with bank , the bank charges some commission do we have to deduct TDS on the Commussion amount paid?

A straight forward reading of Section 194H indicates that Guarantee Commission paid to a Bank will be covered by it. There is no exemption to banks similar to the one provided in secton 194A. Hence TDS needs to be deducted @ 10% if the gross amount of commission is more than 2500 for the financial year.
