Yes Seshadri, you are laible to deduct TDS, deposit it to the government and file TDS return.

No tax is required to be deducted in the following cases:

Where the sum paid or credited in pursuance of any contract does not exceed Rs. 30,000, or

where the aggregate of the amounts of such sums credited or paid or likely to be credited or paid during the financial year does not exceed Rs. 1,00,000 the person responsible for paying such sums will not deduct TDS under this section

I am assuming you are an association of person so you would be required to deduct TDS on payment made to contractor only if your association is liable for audit if your association is not liable to Audit you are not required to deduct TDS and you have to deduct TDS only if the amount of one bill is in excess of Rs 30000 or the total amount of whole year is in excess of Rs 100000

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback.

Thank you

Hi

If amount paid or credited does not exceed Rs. 30,000 in a single payment and Rs. 1, 00,000 in aggregate during the financial year ,then you are not liable to deduct TDS.

Hope it helps.
