THE COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX vs. KARNATAKA POWER TRANSMISSION CORPORATION LTD
What did the High Court hold?

What were the facts?
The appeal concerns whether a contract should be split into material and work components for tax deduction purposes. The revenue argued it was a composite contract, while the assessee contended tax was only deductible on the work portion.
What were the issues?
Whether a composite contract can be split for TDS purposes and if interest under Section 201(1A) is leviable when TDS is not made on the material component of a contract.
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
