The TDS Rate on rent is 10% but can anyone tell me what would be the tax rate, if we have an agreement with C&F Agent & he pays it to the Landlord & Charges the same amount to us with Service Tax
So in this Case how would the TDS be deducted? whether it U/S 194C OR 194I?

for 194I the relation of landlord and tenant vis a vis lessor and leassee is required. Who bears the rent is not material. The tenant/leassee is required to deduct the tax u/s194I So to say, you need to answer who is tenant in your case and accordingly the TDS is required to be deducted

No. The tenant is duty bound to deduct TDS if hit by sec 194I. Who bears the RENT is immaterial in all such cases. In your case, try to find out who is TENANT. The tenant is required to deduct TDS u/s 194I. Why do you think 194C is applicable?
