WE HAVE RENTED OUT FLATS OWNED BY OUR COMPANY TO ANOTHER COMPANY. THE ELECTRICITY CHARGES ARE TO BE PAID BY THE TENANTS. THE BILLING FOR ELECTRICITY IS RAISED BY THE APARTMENT OWNER'S ASSOCIATION. OUR TENANANTS HAVE RAISED A QUERY WHETHER TDS IS TO BE DEDUCTED FROM THIS BILL? THE BILLER CONTENDS OTHERWISE. I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR EXPERT OPINION ON THIS MATTER

TDS should not be deducted on reimbursement of electrical expenses. But in this case electricity bill expenses is been raised by Apartment owner's association instead of Electricity Board hence TDS should be deducted.
