An individual is exempted from deducting TDS under section 194A/C/H/I/J, if tax audit was not applicable during the F.Y. immediately preceding the F.Y. in which income is paid/credited.

[Reference: Proviso to Sec. 194A(1), Explanation(i)(l)(B) to Sec. 194C(7), Second Proviso to Sec. 194H, Second Proviso to Sec. 194I, Second Proviso to Sec. 194J(1).]

So, in case of payment to contractors, if tax audit was applicable to Mr. Sharma during F.Y. 2014-15, then TDS shall be deducted if the payment crosses the prescribed threshold.

But no such exemption criterion is available in case of section 192. TDS shall be deducted in any case, if the salary paid exceeds the basic exemption limit.
