As per section 192C, TDS is applicable only if assesee having tax audit in last financial year and 194H has prescribed the turnover limit.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies TDS applicability for an individual whose turnover significantly increased in the current financial year. While TDS under sections 194C (jobwork) and 194H (commission) may not be applicable if the previous year's turnover was below ₹1 crore, TDS on salary payments under section 192 is mandatory if the salary exceeds the exemption limit, regardless of the previous year's turnover.

Since the last year turnover was 1 crore no need to deduct TDS in the current FY while you made payment to contractor or commission or professional income but such thing is not mentioned in sec 192 thus TDS need to be deducted on salary payment as per slab rate
Tds has seperate threshold limit.
Adhere to that.

Dear Aarti

In the case of the individual assessee, he need not deduct TDS under Section 194C and 194H for FY 2020-21 if his turnover in the preceding financial year (FY 2019-20) does not exceed Rs.1 Crore.

However, being an employer, he will have to make TDS on salary irrespective of his turnover in the preceding year as long as the amount payable to the employee(s) is above the exemption limit.

Ajay
