TDS on salary paid by an 44ad assessee

An individual having eligible business u/s44AD is paying 30000 salary p.m by Cash to an employee. But, total turnover of business is below 1crore. So, does he have to deduct TDS on salary paid? If yes, should he consider rebate u/s 87A for TDS calculation (as total income of such employee from all sources is less than 5 lakhs, and thereby making tax liability of such employee to zero..!) and doesn't it make the whole process redundant?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether an individual with a business eligible under Section 44AD, even with a turnover below £1 crore, is required to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on salary paid in cash. It further questions the relevance of the Section 87A rebate, which can make an employee's tax liability zero, and whether this renders the TDS deduction process redundant. The core query is about calculating the monthly TDS amount when considering this rebate.

Therefore, assessee declaring income u/s 44AD, 44ADA or 44AE is liable to deduct TDS. e.g. Every 'person' is required to deduct TDS u/s 192 if the estimated salary exceeds the maximum amount not chargeable to tax. Any individual paying salary of Rs. ... 1 crore in case of business

My query is regarding consideration of rebate under 87A before deduction of TDS by the employer. If considered, then could you please show the amount of TDS to be deducted every month?
