24 July 2013 Hi Ganeshbabu ji

Absolutely agreeing your view.

my view is based on the following interpretations

1. In query he is mentioned, using taxi for carrying the news papers. so taxi cannot be goods carriage.they cannot tell as Goods transport also

2. Also News papers are not considered as Goods (Refer CST sec.2(d))

So my opinion still TDS apply u/s.194C
