According to Section 194IB, it is mandatory for any person, i.e. individuals / HUF not liable to audit u/s 44AB, to deduct taxes for rent paid to a resident, exceeding Rs 50,000 per month.

29 March 2024 Section 194 I: TDS @ 10% is required to be deducted by only those categories of businesses /profession who are required to get their tax audit conducted by a CA under Section 44AB, If Rent paid/ payable during the Financial Year is more than Rs. 2.4 Lakhs .
194 IB: An Individual or HUF is paying rent of more than Rs. 50,000 per month and is not falling in the above category – such person would also be required to deduct TDS @ 5% under Section 194IB.
