If we pay amount to any contractor under below of exemption limit.. eg 30000/- per payment or 75000.00 p.a to contractor U/s 94C
If Contractor fail to provide PAN copy is TDS 20% deductible in case if payment exceed the exemption limit or from the first bill.
Example :- if we pay to a contractor only Rs.15000/- and he fail to give PAN card copy , should we deduct TDS 20% or No need to deduction because amount is under the exemption limit.

NO, if payment is made below exemption limit then there is no need to get PAN.

To clarify your query regarding TDS deduction under **Section 194C read with Section 206AA (often referenced as 94C in some contexts):**
* **Exemption limits:**
For contractors (including transporters), TDS is required only if the **payment exceeds ₹30,000 per transaction or ₹75,000 in aggregate during the financial year**.
* **PAN non-provision and higher TDS rate (20%):**
If the **payment exceeds the exemption limits**, and the deductee **fails to provide PAN**, then TDS should be deducted at **20%** (instead of the normal 1% or 2% as per 194C).
* **If payment is below exemption limit:**
There is **no TDS deduction required**, and no need to collect PAN or deduct at 20%, even if PAN is not provided.
---
### Your example:
* Payment to contractor = ₹15,000 (which is below ₹30,000 limit)
* Contractor did not provide PAN
**Action:** No TDS deduction required on this ₹15,000 payment as it is under exemption limit, regardless of PAN availability.
---
### Additional point on Transporters:
* Transporters have a specific exemption from TDS for the **first bill of up to ₹5,000**, if PAN is provided.
* If transporter does **not** provide PAN, TDS @ 20% is to be deducted **from the first bill itself**, even if amount is below ₹5,000.

### Summary Table
| Payment Amount | PAN Provided | TDS Deducted? | TDS Rate |
| ---------------------------- | ------------ | ------------- | -------- |
