We purchases steel material from suppliers. Transportation arranges by suppliers and deliver goods to our factory. They charge freight at fixed rate per M.T as per order terms as follows :

Steel : 20 M.T x Rate 30000/- = 600000
Add : Excise 61800
Add : - CST 13236
Add: Freight charges 20000
(1000/- per M.T)
Total : 695036
My query is whether TDS should be deducted on such freight charges of Rs. 20000/-?

As per new amendment,TDS is not applicable on transporters if they provides PAN.

In this case what would be the treatment for TDS deduction as suppliers are not transporters but merely arrange transportation and charge freight in their Sale Invoice.

BE NOTED THAT THE FREIGHT AMOUNT IS CHARGED AT FIXED RATE AND IT IS NOT IN KIND OF ACTUAL REIMBURSHMENT.
