When the rent is for business purpose, then TDS is applicable on it, it is not applicable on house rent. When the rent Amt. exceeds the Limit of Rs. 180000/- then TDS will b deducted.
please note that 194-I applies blanket even to residential property. Section 194-I doesn't provide any relief for use of residential purpose. The only relief is that Individuals/HUF are not required to deduct TDS from rent if they are not covered under 44AB.
