CAM charges from the lessees on which TDS was deducted 2% Le u/s 194C of the Act. Observing, that payment of CAM charges were essentially a part of the rent, the AO treated the assessee as an assessee-in-default for short deduction of tax at source u/s 201(1)/201(1A) of the Act. On appeal, it was observed by the Tribunal that the CAM charges paid by the assessee did not form part of the actual rent that was paid to the owner by the assessee company. As the facts involved in the case of the assessee before us remains the same as were therein involved in the aforesaid case, therefore, in the backdrop of our aforesaid deliberations, and respectfully following the aforesaid order of the Tribunal, we herein, that as claimed by the assessee, and rightly so, the CAM charges paid by it were liable for deduction of tax at source @2%, i.e., u/s. 194C of the Act. We, thus, in terms of our aforesaid observations setaside the order of the Id. CIT(A) who had approved the order passed by the AO treating the assessee company as an assessee-in-default u/s 201(1) of the Act. The grounds of appeal no. 4 to 4.5 are allowed in terms of our aforesaid observations.
