The unwillingness of the appellants in giving the details of those off-market transactions and in turn placing buy orders above LTP in the market subsequently cannot be viewed in i....... + More

• 2020 (2) TMI 1402 - ITAT CHANDIGARH
  
  TDS u/s 194J - amount paid to Inspectors and Supervisors of the Mid Day Meal programme - HELD THAT:- As decided in own case [2017 (11) TMI 1931 - ITAT CHANDIGARH] payments made to Mid Day Meals Scheme Workers which do not attract Section 194J precisely. On perusal of the above Section 194J the payments made to Mid Day Meal Workers at no stretch of imagination can be treated as fees paid for profession or technical services. Hence the interest levied under section 201(1A) is unwarranted. TDS on the payments made under Mid Day Meal programme - HELD THAT:- As decided in own case assessee submitted that the payments were made to institutions which were registered under section 12A. The Ld. CIT(A) has remanded the latter back to the file of Assessing Officer for verification. Hence we decline to interfere with the order of the Ld. CIT(A) as it's a matter of verification only at the Assessing Officer's end.

  Disallowance u/s.40(a)(ia) - TDS u/s 194C OR 194J - expenses towards channel placement fees - HELD THAT:- When there is a short fall in deduction of TDS there cannot be any disallowance u/s.40(a)(ia) of the Act. Undoubtedly in the case on hand the assessee deducted TDS @2% u/s 194C of the Act on the channel placement fees paid. However, the Assessing Officer was of the view that provisions of section 194J would apply and therefore the TDS would have been deducted @10% as against 2%. Therefore as relying on UBJ BROADCASTING PRIVATE LTD. [2019 (9) TMI 541 - ITAT MUMBAI] and M/S. HINDUSTAN THOMPSON ASSOCIATES PVT. LTD. [2016 (7) TMI 1394 - ITAT MUMBAI] this is a case of short deduction of TDS. We uphold the order of the Ld.CIT(A) and reject the ground raised by the revenue.
