As the dealer is paying the amount towards the use of stock in trade, or towards the use of a commodity, it is not covered by Explanation provided Under Section 194I.
However, the amount being paid is compensatory in nature and as such it becomes nearer to "Interest other than Interest on Securities" as prescribed U/s 194A. You may take this as an amount paid by way of interest and deduct tax accordingly.
