18 June 2010 In case if there is separate contract for the letting out of furniture & fittings & separate contract for the use of property with the same person, then the rent should be consolidated to determine whether TDS U/s 194I is applicable. In this regard, if there is any notification or clarification then please tell me.

19 June 2010 i'm not asking whether TDS is required to be deducted on the amount paid for use of furniture what am i asking is when there is 2 contracts one for use of furniture & other for use of building then the amount for use of furniture & building should be consolidated or not. If there is any notification, circular or case law in this regard then please let me know.

19 June 2010 Are the assessees same?

If yes then they have to be consolidated in any case as what is being paid is rent only in both the agreements. It is as per section and not circular is needed.
