I AM STAYING AT BANK LEASED FLAT. BANK IS PAYING RENTAL AMT OF RS.16000/- AFTER DEDUCTING TDS. MY FLAT OWNER REQUESTED TO NOT TO DEDUCT TDS. FOR THAT HE HAS GIVEN FORM 15G/15H. PLEASE GUIDE ME WHETHER CAN REQUEST MY OFFICE TO NOT TO DEDUCT TDS.
23 October 2011
The total amount for the year 16000*12 = 192000 is exceeding the limit if 120000 hence the bank is liable to deduct TDS. However, if the landlord requests by producing form 15G/15H then on the basis of the form, bank should not deduct tds.
24 October 2011
Tds should not be deducted if Form 15G/H is submitted, and the exemption limit of rent has been enhanced from 120000 to 180000 w.e.f 1st July 2010.
24 October 2011
Banker can stop deducting TDS on rent payment only when the land lord has produced TDS Exemption Certificate from his jurisdictional Income Tax Officer addressed to Bank not to make the TDS.

As per sec.197A , if the declaration is submited in Form 15G/15H than no tax is deductible in few case and these are Interest on Securities(U/s193), Interest other than securities(sec.194), National Saving Scheme (sec.194EE) and Interest on unit (sec194K). From above it very clear that in case of TDS on Rent which is covered U/s 194I , sec.197A can not appllied.
