One of my clients has taken a rental property for residential purpose in India. The rent is to be deposited in a bank account maintained by the owner of the house in India. The owner is a NRI and does not have a PAN. My client has to deduct TDS. How to go about? The owner argues that, being a NRI not assesseble to tax and no need to deduct TDS on rent. Need expert advice.
