No Sir, they are not Organised ... they have no Union ... they are not apponted by any one... they are working as individual ...

we paid unloading charges to them individual..... kindly note that every day all these people are roated...

we pay like this >>>> 10 persons unload our goods >>> then we pay Rs. 200/- to each persons >> 10 Nos X Rs. 200/-

As per above procedure , please advice us whereas TDS is applicable ??? If yes...then advice us how to avoid TDS to pay. through change of Head of accounts ( Unloading Charges) ... thanks.... waiting for your advice

as they are not under contract basis no need to deduct tds...but the expenses will be disallowed as the same is being above 10k and paid in cash

1. wages for unloading

2. we f they are under Union or organisation the payment will be made to the said Union..if under contractor then to the contractor, if appointed then they are considered as staff members....since they do not fall under any of these therefore no need to worry about the question of tds to arise ...
