IN the given case , the contract is for the renting of the trucks and hence the provisions of sec. 194 I will get attracted. Applicable TDS rate is 2%.
Explanation to Sec. 194 I provides that besides on land & building , tax shall be deductible for leasing or hiring of machinery, plat, equipment, furniture & fittings whether or not owned by the payee.

but sir provision of 194 i covers only two types of rents one is rent of plant & machinary second is of building & furniture etc for both of above rates are also fixed in 194 i does it not prove that section is not applicable to any other cases than above two it is only applicable to p&m or building & furniture for p& m rate is 2 % for building & furniture rate is 10%
Block of Plant & Machinery covers Motor Cars, motor Buses, Commercial Vehicle etc. Thus, by implication for the purpose of TDS u/s 194 I Vehicles is to be categorised under the head Plant & Machinery.
