Tax has to be deducted u/s 194I from Rent. 'Rent' means any consideration paid for use of equipment. Hence, if re imbursement of fuel expenses is necessary condition for use of equipment, then TDS is applicable on fuel reimbursements. Else, TDS is applicable on Pure Rent portion only.
I think he is right, if it is necessary condition for the use of equipment then TDS is applicable.
