We have purchased goods from one seller of Rs.51,42,380/- including GST amount. So, should we deduct TDS 0.1% In financial year 2024-2025 our Turnover is 3 Cr.

No, Section 194Q is NOT applicable to you.
Why 194Q doesn’t apply Section 194Q (TDS on purchase of goods) applies only if: - Buyer’s turnover in the immediately preceding FY > INR 10 cr mandatory condition - Purchase from a seller exceeds INR 50 lakh in the current FY
In your case: FY 24–25 turnover = INR 3 cr | This is below INR 10 cr | So 194Q TDS is not applicable, even though you purchased INR 51 lakh (incl. GST) from a single seller.
