Rent threshold

This query is : Resolved 

15 March 2025 From 01.04.2025:

1. Building Rent per month is INR 40000. If I pay 16 months rent, i.e., INR 640000 during the FY 2025-26, I don't need to deduct tax.

2. Building Rent per month is INR 55000. If I pay 1 month rent, i.e., INR 55000 during the FY 2025-26, I need to deduct tax.


Am I wrong?

21 March 2025 A. The rent is for 12 months in an year, The TDS for remaining 4 months' rent need to be deducted in the relevant year.
2. Correct.

23 March 2025 Sir,

If this is so, then the first proviso to Section 194I should have been amended as "... does not exceed six hundred thousand rupees" instead of "... does not exceed fifty thousand rupees for a month or part of a month".

This is my confusion. Please guide.


23 March 2025 The confusion is you are exceeding calendar months to 16 in an year. The act is for particular assessment year, not for the clubbing of assessment years.

23 March 2025 Sir,

My intention is not to make 16 months calander year. The logic is:

We are following cash system of accounting and 4 months rent is due to be paid for the FY 2023-24 along with full year rent is due to be paid for the FY 2024-25. We shall pay all the dues in April 2025.

Do we need to deduct tax?

23 March 2025 The supply is of earlier year, due is paid in next year, but liability to deduct TDS arises in preceding year.

04 October 2025 Good luck...
