One of our Transporter appointed as C & F .They are doing Transport as well as clearing activities. Now we are paying detention charges to Customs with some documentation charges through C& F. Whether TDS applicable in this case. Can u quote the section.

Sec 194 C is applicable in case of C & F agents. TDS is suppose to be deducted while u make the payment to them for the services which are in nature of services provided by C & F agents. With respect to the services of the transport, if it is issuing the consignment note for the transport made and PAN is quoted on the bill no TDS is required to be deducted. But if a consolidated bill is given for both, its better to deduct TDS u/s 194 C on a safer side. Hope now u its clear to you. thnk u.
