Key Conditions: Proper rent agreement must exist between the company and the director. Guest house should be used exclusively for business purposes (not personal use by employees or director). Rent paid should be reasonable and at market rate (to avoid disallowance under transfer pricing or deemed benefit rules). Rent should be actually paid and not just booked. TDS must be deducted under section 194-I (if rent exceeds ₹2.4 lakhs/year).
