Finance Act, 1972, Sec.194-C — Authorizing deduction of income at source Assessees transport Contractors — Entitled for payment for carriage of Goods — Income Tax Authorities seeking to deduct the amount at source of invoking the Section — Circular issued by the department — Whether illegal and ultra vires. Sec.194-C was inserted by Finance Act, 1972 w.e.f., 1.4.1972 authorizing deduction of income tax at source, while making payments to contractors for the work done by them. The expression work has been explained in Explanation III to the above Section, and mere carriage of goods was not at all included in the said explanation. Interpreting the same, a Division Bench of the Bombay High Court in Bombay Goods Transport Association and another v. Central Board of Direct Taxes and others, (1994)210 I.T.R. 136 took the view that the substantive provisions in Sec.194-C does not make mere transportation of goods exigible to deduction at source, and the circular cannot authorize for doing so and as such the circular is illegal and ultra vires the Act. [Para. 4]
