AI Summary

TDS under GST remains unimplemented; departments should not deduct GST from contractor bills under current rules. TDS under GST is not currently operable for departmental deductions from contractor bills. The applicable TDS provision has not been implemented, and Section 51 is not within the operative scope for withholding; departments should therefore refrain from deducting GST at source until formal implementation and administrative guidance are issued.
