Dear GK
To attract 194H, there should be "payment received or receivable, directly or indirectly, by a person acting on behalf of another person", -. in relation to any transaction relating to any asset, valuable article or thing, not being securities
In this view,Payment received or receivable,directly or indirectly, by X, acting on behalf of Y" to bank.Here X compnay indirectly involved in this transation because x is giving documents to Y and y is giving to bank.So X is not directly giving documents to bank.
Here intention to execute on behalf of Y company. So in my opinion it covers under 194 H.But some of mine friends had faced this problems in their company so they are deducting TDS under contract and they have already signed contract between group company.
In regard to service tax :Some one has written these below case:
A person who is not in business of providing a particular service provides the service in a stray case.He is not known as provider of that service .In that case,the service will not be taxable CCE v.Chandan Metal Products (2009) 19 STT 18 (cestat)-relying on shakumbari sugar v.cce(2006) 5 STT 247(cestat)
I am confirming this case and come back with answer.Any one have other answer then please post:)
