We run a franchisee in a Mall.Other than maintenance charges, Malls are charging two components in their seperately raised monthly bill / Debit note :

a. Electricity charges - billed at certain rate. Neither 'reimbursement' word is used over the bill raised by these malls nor they provide copy of electricity bill paid to respective electricity company/board.

Querry - whether such payment of electricity bill TO MALL attract provisions of tax deduction at source under Indian Income tax act?

b. Diesel running charges - at certain rates per unit
