Dear William
Yess. TDS is reqd. to be deducted on provisions. The relevant sections(such as 194C, 194H, 194I, 194J etc) specifies that the tax is to be deducted at the time of credit of such sum to the account of the payee or at the time of payment thereof in cash or by issue of a cheque or draft or by any other mode, whichever is earlier. Further, explanations in these sections specifies that any such sum is credited to any account, whether called "Suspense Account" or by any other name, in the books of accounts of person liable to pay such sum, such crediting shall be deemed to be credit of such sum to the account of the payee and the provisions of the relevant section shall apply accordingly (generall explanation 2)
