27 July 2025 For the payment to the company for **giving space at Water Expo** (basically, a kind of **rental or leasing of space**), here’s the TDS treatment:

---

### Is TDS deductible?

**Yes**, TDS is applicable on the rent paid for commercial space.

---

### Under which section?

* Since this is **rent for commercial property** (space given for business purposes), TDS is deductible under **Section 194-I** of the Income Tax Act.
* The rate of TDS under Section 194-I for rent of **plant, machinery or furniture** is 2%, but for **land, building or furniture**, it's 10% (if the rent exceeds Rs 2,40,000 per year).
* In this case, since it’s a **space at an expo** (likely treated as land/building rent), TDS @ **10%** is applicable.

---

### Note on service tax:

* The bill includes service tax, but TDS is to be calculated on the **amount excluding service tax**.

---

### Summary:

| Payment Type | TDS Applicability | Section | Rate |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------- | ------- | ---- |
| Rent for space at expo (commercial) | Yes | 194-I | 10% |

---

If you want, I can help you with the exact calculation and how to deduct and deposit this TDS.
