The tenant has to deduct tax as per section 194I of the Income tax Act,1961. If the land lord do not seek such deduction, he/ she has to obtain a certificate of no deduction / deduction at a lower rate from his /her income tax Officer and upon production of that certificate the tenant can act accordingly. No other documentation is possible according to law for no deduction.
