In this case the Vendor is using his own papers for copying the documents. . It can also be presumed that he is purchasing paper from the market and not from your organisation. . In Explanation (iv) to the Section 194C, it has been mentioned that work does not include manufacturing or supplying products by using material purchased from a person, other than such customer. . So in my view, No TDS requirement has not been prescribed by the law for such transactions. . However, TDS rate for Individual and HUF contractors is @ 1% , and if you deduct TDS , you will be safer from potential department threats. . Please wait for expert's opinion.
