Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules for deducting Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on contractor payments under Section 194C of the Income Tax Act. It explains that TDS should be deducted on the cumulative payments made to a contractor within a financial year once a certain threshold is crossed, not just on individual payments. The threshold applies to the total value of payments, ensuring compliance with tax regulations.

In case of 194 c if payment is 30000 rupees then TDS should be deducted only to a single contactor and if it is consolidated then TDS will be deducted on 1 lakh rupees

Yes, agreed. Deduct TDS on total value (including previous transactions) as and when the threshold limit crosses.
