11 July 2013 TDS NOT APPLICABLE 194C: All the above said expenses was Generally re-reimbursement in nature by providing original bills paid by him and Hence TDS not applicable...if Separate invoice available for all these expenses Then TDS Not applicable..As per CBDT Cir.715 dated 08.08.1995 And TDS will be applicable on his service charges ONLY. TDS APPLICABLE 194C: But if you have an agreement/contract with clearing agent to clear goods irrespective of original expenditure incurred by him Then TDS is Applicable on this transaction Thanks & regards Ganesh babu k
