We have entered into contract with one caterer to provide brekfast,lunch & dinner at some specific rates say Rs.20,Rs.40 & Rs.35 respectively at our office as well as guest house.

Caterer has submitted bill based on number of breakfast,lunch & dinner provided for Rs.350000/- for the month of Nov-2010.

My question is whether TDS to be deducted from his bill ?

If yes, at what rate.

In my opinion TDS is not applicable because the caterer is selling food to us.
