This discussion clarifies TDS deduction on advance payments for work contracts. While TDS is generally deductible on payment or expense booking, it's noted that if the total value, specifically installation charges, falls below the threshold limit, TDS may not need to be deducted. The consensus is that if the limit isn't exceeded, payment can be made without TDS.
