10 May 2013 An honorarium is an payment made to a person for their services in a volunteer capacity, especially a famous person or professional.

Hence it can come under the ambit of Technical or professional service and liable for deduction of TDS.

yes you are right if the aggregates of the amount does not exceed 30000, there is no liability to deduct TDS.
