Section 194C: This section applies to payments made to contractors for carrying out any "work," which includes routine repairs and maintenance contracts, even those involving the supply of spares. If the services are highly technical in nature, requiring specialized knowledge or skills, Section 194J (TDS on Fees for Technical Services) might be applicable, with different rates. However, for most common machinery repairs and maintenance, Section 194C is the norm. Threshold Limits for TDS Deduction (under Section 194C): Single Transaction Limit: No TDS is to be deducted if the amount paid or credited for a single transaction does not exceed ₹30,000. Aggregate Financial Year Limit: No TDS is to be deducted if the aggregate of the amounts paid or credited to the same contractor during the entire financial year does not exceed ₹1,00,000.
