X company made payment on behalf of Y for security services availed by Y and security services invoice is in the name of Y. As services are taken by Y , it is Y company obligation to deduct TDS and remit it to Govt. But X company has already deducted TDS and remitted to Govt.
In this case can Y comp take certificate from X company that Y comp obligation was discharged by X?

Technically X company should have shown it as an advance/ loan to Y and Y company should deduct TDS since the bill is in its name and it will book the expenses.
Under the circumstances you can take an undertaking from Company X but i am not quite sure if that will work. But you can always put forth your point.
