CBDT Circular 715 dtd 8/8/1995 issued to clarify that If there are a number of payees, each having definite and ascertainable share in the property, the limit of Rs. 1,20,000( now the limited increased to Rs.1,80,000) will apply to each of the payee/co-owner separately. The payers and the payees are however advised not to enter into sham agreements to avoid TDS provisions.
I'm agreeing with Ramesh , TDS Threshold limit not exceeded , therefore need not deduct TDS.( providedeach having definite and ascertainable share in the property 50:50)
