the exemption provided is only when the total payments to an individual entity doesn't exceed Rs 30000 in a year. once this limit is crossed, TDS is to be deducted on all the payments to such party irrespective of the fact whether a particular invoice is less than Rs 30000 or not.
Also, in case where it is expected that the payment to a party shall exceed Rs 30000 in a year, TDS should be deducted straight away on all the payments.
