1. Rs. 14,000 would not be considered fir the threshold limit if the same is mentioned on the invoice separately and also if the copies of the challans paid are available.
Hence, there would not arise any TDS liability as amount of Rs. 28,092 is less than Rs. 30,000. (Assuming Attorney is a Redident in India)
2. Please refer to CENVAT Credit Rules for the same.
3. Entire amount of Rs. 42,092 must be capitalised and the same should be amortised over a period not exceeding ten years as per AS-26.
