Tds on payment of expenses by aop

THE ASSESSEE IS AN AOP WHOSE GROSS RECEIPTS ARE NOT ABOVE 1CRORE. HE MAKES PAYMENT OF RS.30 LACS TO A HOTEL IN HYDERABAD FOR ORGANISING AN EVENT BUT  HE HAS NOT DEDUCTED ANY TDS ON THIS PAYMENT.

THE QUESTION IS WHETHER AOP'S ARE LIABILE TO DEDUCT TDS ON EVERY TYPE OF PAYMENT MADE FOR EXPENSES ABOVE 20000?

OR THE AOP HAS TO APPLY FOR TAN & DECDUCT TDS.?
