24 May 2008 whether tds is liable to be deducted on lease rental paid in case of financial lease and on instalment in case of Hire purchase agreement? if yes, then whether on whole amount or the interest portion only?
I strongly believe that in both cases tds is not liable to be deducted. But is there any circular or a provision which says this or otherwise? Please reply.

24 May 2008 definition of rent under section 194I includes Lease and sublease.

TDS is payable on any amount charged in pursuance of such arrangement.

Amount = Interest + Principal
