1) Since each payment is Rs.30,000/- only, section 194C(5) attracts meaning thereby no need to deduct tax. 2) As per proviso to the said section, since the aggregate payment does not exceed Rs.75,000/-income tax need not be deucted.

Payment in April 2010--Amount Rs 30000/- attracts TDS as threshold limit till 30.06.2010 is Rs 20000/- single payment. The revised limit of Rs 30000/- (Single bill) & Rs 75000/- (Annual Payment) is from 01.07.2010
Further the value of the annual maintenance contract is Rs 60000/-. If single bill given in that case TDS needs to be deducted on Rs 60000/- if multiple bills below Rs 30000/- is given in that case TDS is required to be deducted only on payment made in April 2010.
