What did the High Court hold?

The Tribunal held that a composite contract can be split into parts for TDS. It further concluded that interest under Section 201(1A) was not leviable as the assessee was not liable for TDS on the material portion of the contract.

What were the facts?

The appeal concerns whether the Tribunal was correct in bifurcating a composite contract into parts for TDS purposes. The revenue argued that TDS should be deducted on the entire contract value, while the assessee contended it was only applicable to the 'work' part and not the 'material' part.

What were the issues?

Whether a composite contract can be bifurcated for TDS purposes, and if interest under Section 201(1A) is leviable on the material portion of such a contract.
