Representation to CBDT/CBEC ISF has hired PWC for making the representation before CBDT/CBEC on the following points : 1) The manpower staffing services should come under the section 194 (C) of the Income Tax Act rather than Section 194 (J). 2) Currently TDS certificate is issued with a validity for the current financial year and on client to client basis only, however ISF wanted to pursue for a certificate from AO providing a lower TDS rate for a period of 3 financial years at least and as a whole rather than client to client basis. 3) Service Tax should be applicable on Service Charges, rather than on total billing amount.
