In my view TDS is deductible @1% if the amount paid to the contractor exceeds 75 K in a year or if a single bill exceeds 30K. Oral agreement is a contract.

AI Summary

TDS on contractor payments applies when aggregate or single invoices cross statutory thresholds; oral agreement is a contract.
TDS is payable on contractor payments where either aggregate annual payments to the contractor exceed the prescribed annual threshold or a single invoice exceeds the prescribed single-payment threshold; an oral engagement qualifies as a contract and presentation of a bill with a partnership firm PAN does not alter withholding obligations.
