RBI makes the payments to the hospitals on the basis of receipt of bills from them on account of treatment of its employees. The hospital sends the bill having two components i.e. hospital charges and service tax. My question is whether the TDS is to be deducted on total bill i.e. hospital charges + service tax or the TDS is to be deducted only on hospital charges. In my opinion, TDS should be deducted only on hospital charges only. Please reply.
