Good question!
Here’s the breakdown for **TDS on rent of furniture and electronic appliances** like AC, LED, microwave, cloth dryer:
---
### 1. **Section applicable for TDS on rent**
* **Section 194-I** covers **rent payments**.
* TDS rate depends on type of asset rented:
* **10%** on **rent for land, building, or furniture** (Section 194-I(b))
* **2%** on **rent for plant, machinery, equipment, or any other asset** (Section 194-I(c))
---
### 2. **Classification of appliances**
* Furniture (chairs, tables, sofas, etc.) clearly comes under **furniture**, so TDS @ 10% applies.
* Electronic appliances like **AC, LED, microwave, cloth dryer** are generally classified as **plant & machinery or equipment**, so TDS @ 2% applies.
---
### 3. **Summary**
| Asset rented | TDS Section | TDS Rate |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | -------- |
| Furniture | Section 194-I(b) | 10% |
| Electronic appliances (AC, LED, microwave, dryer) | Section 194-I(c) | 2% |
---
### 4. **Why this classification matters**
* The Income Tax department treats electronic appliances more like machinery/equipment than furniture.
* Hence, lower TDS rate applies for rent of these assets.
---
**So, for your case:**
* Deduct **10% TDS** on rent paid for furniture.
* Deduct **2% TDS** on rent paid for electronic appliances.
---
If you want, I can help draft a clear policy note for your accounts team on this classification. Would that help?
