Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) needs to be applied when paying tender fees to purchase tender forms and submit bids. While some suggest TDS might apply at 1% or 2% depending on the recipient, particularly if material value is involved under Section 194C, others argue that TDS is generally not required on tender fees.

Tds is to be deducted @ 1% where the payment is being made or credit is being given to an individual or a Hindu undivided family, in other cases @ 2%. If such work includes material value also and is shown separately in the invoice then material value shall be deducted from the total amount u/s 194C on tender fees
