21 April 2012 In case the amount paid/credited till the month in question is below the threshold limit, there is no need to deduct TDS. However, if it is likely to cross during the FY, it is better to deduct & deposit TDS in the respective month of payment/credit.

21 April 2012 Yes. Agree with expert. Limit has to be seen for the total year and not for month. If you think that the total transaction exceeds the threshold limit, its better to start deducting and remitting TDS.

21 April 2012 Is it by way of a contract? If yes then the cost of each tree will be more than the limit as prescribed u/s 194C and accordingly it is to be deducted but as you have stated it is below the limit then the experts are very much correct and I agree with them
