21 January 2008 Hi Divya,

The answer is hidden in the definition of rent.

Rent is defined as any payment by whatever name called under any lease, sun-lease, tenancy or any other agreement or arrangement for the use of any land or any building (including factory building), together with furniture and fittings, and the land appurtenant thereto, whether or ot such building is owned by the payee;

Only hiring of equipment shall not fall under rent.

Thus if the agreement is made only for the hiring of equipments, it shall not be subject to TDS u/s 194I but u/s 194C.
