As per the provisions of S.194C -  if the payment exceeds Rs.20,000/- or the aggregate of payment during the financial year exceeds Rs.50000/-, TDS to be deducted on the prescribed percentage.

My Questions are

1)  Whether the "PAYMENT PERTAINING TO THE PARTY (Receiver) or PERTAINING TO THE AGREEMENT"?

2) If the "PAYMENT" relates to a agreement, shall i make new agreement every time and avoid the deduction of tax?
