No, TDS is not deductible because it is a simple purchase.

payment is made for a purchase....and this nature of payment is not covered under TDS provisions...
If the party to whom payment is made charges VAT on its bill then it is just a contract of sale and doesn attact TDS provisions

Provisions of section 194C would apply in respect of a contract for supply of any article or thing as per prescribed specifications only if it is a contract for work and not a contract for sale as per the principles in this regard laid down in para 7(vi) of Circular No. 681, dated 8-3-1994.
Circular : No. 13/2006, dated 13-12-2006.
.
In reply to question No. 15 in Circular No. 715, dated 8-8-1995, in respect of contract for supply of printed material as per prescribed specifications, it has been said that such contracts would also be covered under section 194C.
.
Hence, if it is like any normal purchase of items then TDS is not required to be deducted whereas if you are purchasing stationery items with prior specifications (like printing of company logo, name etc.) then deduct TDS u/s 194C.
.
The term ‘materials contracts’ in the context of section 194C would mean contracts for supply of materials where the principal contract is for work and labour and not a contract for sale of materials.

The head of expense may be printing & stationary but you have to see what exactly the transaction is..As rightly said by Deepak if entire amount is for purchasing stationary then TDS wont get attracted as it is a transaction of sale as pointed out rightly by Anjali. But if it is getting covered under the 'work' definition as specified in Sec 194 C it will for sure get covered as 194 C doesnt want a contract to be a written one. So most of the transactions getting covered under 194 C are deemed/implied contracts for ex: courier, cab expenses on a recurring basis.

as per circular 715 dt 8-8-95
if printing and stationery is as per specific iations then it is job work and 194C will be applicable
if you purchase printing & stationery that is common nature then it is purchase and no TDS

Yes TDS is deductible u/s 94c if you have give hime to print your stationery as per your requirement that is your company's name on file etc. if you dont have made any special contract with stationer and you simply purchase ready made stationery then TDS will not be applicable.

Dear Friends
Stationery purchase is pure contract of sale
Printing of items according to the specification of the customer (for Eg. ABC Co. orders bill books with logo printed)
1) Papers, cardboards, inks etc supplied by ABC Co. Section 194C will apply.
2) The Vendor itself purchasing other than ABC Co. and supplied the materials according to the specification of ABC - Contract of Sale - No TDS will be deducted.
Please refer to 194C Meaning of Work [Clause (iv) (e) of Explanation (iv) to Section 194C (7)]
(e) manufacturing or supplying a product according to the requirement or specification of a customer by using material purchased from such customer,
but does not include manufacturing or supplying a product according to the requirement or specification of a customer by using material purchased from a person, other than such customer.
