in section 194i 10% of tds aplicable for land, building or furnicher

and if it is under machinery rate of tds will be 2%

does it come under 194c for work of carriage of passanger

your client wanted a means to send people from one place to another. your client has obtained transport facility for taking passengers from one destination to another, and hired a contractor who provides such services using vehicles like bus. so yes, there is a possibility that TDS u/s 194C can apply here.

Yes , here TDS should be deducted under U/s 194 I but some friends have treated it u/s 194C...so like to say particulars of a bill is very important for treatment ...

Since the assesse is not operating the bus hence it would not be said as bus has been taken on rent, hence 194I has a bit weeker attraction in this case.

Since the operators are of the bus owner and we pay the bus owner towards the exp of bus maint, driver and conductor salary etc, it forms a composite payment like a contract for a work to be done. Hence expenses paid in the name of "HIRE CHARGES" would attract sec 194C more strongly then sec 194I.

but to avoid litigation with the AOs it is sometimes preferred to deduct tax at higher rates of 10% u/s 194I.

but as per my view it should be u/s 194C.

(thnk me if u like my reply.. m new here. ;) )
