The local municipal corporation has appointed a transport vendor to extract the sewage water from our office area on a fixed payment on trip basis.
As vendor is providing a service we want to deduct a tax, but the vendor's argument is that he is government appointed vendor and the fixed payment has to be received by them on whole basis without deducting any TDS or ESI.
Can we pay vendor without deducting the TDS as per his argument.
