Quick Summary
Section 194M of the Income Tax Act mandates a 5% TDS deduction on payments made by individuals or HUFs (who are not liable for audit) to contractors, provided the aggregate payments exceed ₹50 lakh in a financial year. This rate was reduced to 3.75% after 14th May 2020. The section is effective from 1st September 2019, and TDS applies to payments made after this date, even if the contract predates it. Companies are not covered under this section and must adhere to other relevant TDS provisions.

If Payment made to contractor by Individuals/HUF (Non audit) under section 194M then you required to deduct TDS @ 5% on total sum ,if amount exceed 50 in a Financial year.

So, you have to Deduct TDS on full 1 cr @ 5%.

Reduce rate after 14th May, 2020 is 3.75%
Is this section applicable to company?
No, this section is not applicable to company because company has required to deduct tax under section 194C/194J/194H as the case may be
Is this section applicable only when payment made more than 50 lac

this section applicable from which date?
If we forgot to deduct TDS, shall we submit form No 26A
Yes, this section is applicable only when your payment exceed the limit of 50,00,000/- in a Financial year.

Section 194M will be effective from 1 September 2019 onwards. TDS amount will be deducted on any payment made after this date even if the contract existed before, provided the payment exceeds Rs 50,00,000.
So, if payment is before 01 sep than there is no requirement?
@ Nidhi ji
This section is applicable w.e.f 01 September, 2019...so if you made any payment before this date, than there is no requirement to deduct TDS, but after this date for calculation of threshold of 50lakh you have to consider that amount also.

@ Sakthi ji
Yes, if you forget to deduct TDS, than you can submit form 26A
