Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules for deducting Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under Section 194C for contractor payments. It explains that TDS is applicable once either the single payment threshold (Rs. 30,000) or the aggregate threshold for the financial year (Rs. 1 lakh) is crossed. If these limits are not met, TDS isn't required on smaller individual bills, but it will be deducted on the entire cumulative amount once the threshold is breached.
Once the either of the threshold i.e.100000 for total or 30000 for single payment is crossed, Tax is to be deducted for entire cumulative payment till date. In this case tax is to be deducted on payment of 10000 as well.
