Consultancy fee is not a contract its a professional fee, therefore tds would be deducted under section 194J

So..
For example we are deducting 7000/- p.m. So it comes to 7000*12=more than 75,000/- p.a. then we have to deduct 10% on Rs. 7,000/- ..?
AND if the amount is 30,000/- or more for sigle payment then also 10%..? Is it right..?

U/s. 194J which deals with TDS provisions on payment of fees for professional services, if the aggregate of sums credited/paid during a financial year exceeds Rs.30,000/- TDS is liable to be deducted.
Hence in your case since you are paying Rs.7,000/- p.m, the annual payment would consequently exceed Rs.30,000/- threshhold limit. TDS would therefore be liable to be deducted @ 10% every month.
