A partnership firm making telecom-related payments (internet, mobile, etc.) must evaluate TDS applicability carefully. Generally, TDS under Section 194C may apply for contract payments, but telecom bills are often excluded. Firms covered under audit must deduct TDS and obtain TAN.

of telecommunication bill like internet, mobile bill, telephone bill etc.not required to deduct the tds u/s 194C.
you are partnership firm. if you pay any amount which is required to deduct the tds then you have to deduct the tds w/o considering sales amount. and you have to apply for tan due to partnership have no exemption for deducting TDS.
