The HC adjudicated that Common Area Maintenance (CAM) charges constitute shared expenses for common works and utilities, not rental payments. The court definitively ruled that CAM charges are maintenance contributions for cleanliness and utilities, fundamentally distinct from lease or license charges. By rejecting the lower authorities' interpretations, the HC clarified that TDS provisions under sections 194C or 194I are inapplicable to such maintenance expenditures. The court's precise reasoning emphasized the inherent nature of these charges as collective infrastructure support, not compensatory payments for premise occupation, thereby invalidating prior administrative orders and establishing a clear legal distinction in tax treatment of CAM charges.
