21 April 2010 You can do with mutual understanding.
Currently threshold limit is INR 1,20,000.00 and it will enhance to INR 1,80,000.00 w.e.f 01.07.2010.
If mainteance agreement is directly related to Rent agreement, than you have to deduct TDS upto 30th June 2010, after that no need to deduct TDS becasue of threshold limit.
