11 August 2008 If the party charges the maintenance separatly as a bill then the TDS rate applicable is TDS on contract rate.

Or if the party charges the same along with the rent, then it should be deducted as TDS on Rent.

12 August 2008 If the same is provided in the lease deed itself then it will be treated for tds purpose othewise the same will not come under the purview of TDS provisions.
