11 March 2020 I have filed return u/s 44AD for F.Y. 2018-19 declaring profit @6% of turnover and my turnover was 1,10,00,000 (1.10 crore).

For F.Y. 2019-20 do I need to deduct tds u/s 194A?

Am I liable to deduct TDS for F.Y. 2019-20??

11 March 2020 Yes, liable to deduct in 2019-20 because turnover in 2018-19 exceeded the limit prescribed in 44AB(a).

11 March 2020 From the plain reading if the proviso to sub-section (1) of Section 194A, reference to only monetary limits specified U/s 44AB (a) 44AB (b) suggests that in your case TDS is required to be deducted.
This is safer rather than taking a view that accounts were not required to be audited U/s 44AB(a).
