07 April 2018 Dear Friends

Is it necessary to have a contract in place to apply 194C, we are a logistics company and have to take delivery order from airlines for import consignments. One particular airlines refuses to give us the delivery order if we deduct TDS u/s 194C as they contend that as there is no contract between us we cannot deduct TDS. if any one can provide a clarity supported with CBDT or Court verdict it will help me a lot.

Thanks and Regards
