Commerical Paper are issued at Discount to the Face Value. Discount is basically the interest for the tenure of the instrument. Is TDS deductible on the same and is there any relevant circular for the same

Mr.Hemant not clear on your reply. As CP will be issued by the borrower, at the time of redemption will TDS be applicable on the discount portion.
Can you also give reference to the relevant circular as well which states no TDS is applicable on discount
