Dear Mr Chakravarthy

Purchases of goods, either capital or otherwise, do not come under the TDS Provisions.  You may purchase the item without making any TDS.

AI Summary

TDS applicability: purchases of goods, including capital equipment, do not require withholding under income tax rules. Purchase of goods, including capital equipment such as a photocopier, does not attract TDS provisions and no tax is to be deducted at source on payment for movable goods; this observation is confined to withholding obligations and does not consider other tax consequences.
