Quick Summary

When a private limited company pays rent to an NRI for property in India, TDS must be deducted under Section 195 of the IT Act. The applicable rate is 31.20% (including surcharge and cess). Payments require Challan 281 and Form 27Q for returns. Tenants must also complete Form 15CA, and if annual rent exceeds £5 lakh, Form 15CB from a CA is mandatory. However, if rent is paid to an NRO account, Forms 15CA and 15CB may not be required.

Tax rate 30% or 31.20% (30%+4% Cess).

It is mandatory for tenants to fill Form 15CA on the income tax portal every time rent is paid.

If the total rent paid per annum exceeds Rs.5 lakh, the tenant must obtain Form 15CB from a Chartered Accountant.

Thanks.

06 May 2022 It's 31.20% (30%+4% Cess).
Pay the amount to NRO account no need for 15CA and 15CB.
