TDS applicability for supply of items made to specification depends on whether the contract is a works contract or a sale.
TDS on payments for supply of articles made to prescribed specifications applies only where the arrangement is a works contract (fabrication or manufacture) and not where the transaction is a contract for sale in which property in the fabricated article passes to the purchaser on delivery; the CBDT clarifies that the contract's substantive character-allocation of property rights, timing of transfer, and contractual terms-must be examined before applying the TDS provisions.
