28 November 2007 Any individual or HUF who satisfies the following conditions is responsible for deduction of tax at source

(i) whose total sales turnover from business during the FY immediately preceding the FY in which rent is paid exceeds Rs 40 lacs; or

(ii)whose gross receipts from the profession during the FY immediately preceding the FY in which rent is paid exceeds Rs 10 lacs

(Source: Para 13.1.2 of 10th edition of Taxmann's TDS and Footnote in Page A-290 of 30th edition of Taxmann's Direct Taxes Ready Reckoner)

So the Act provides limits specifically for this section. They may correspond with the limits for Tax Audit, but that is a different matter
