12 January 2012 Dear Experts,

In a lease agreement of 11 months total amount is 25000 broked out as

Room Rent 10,000
Furniture & Other amenities 15,000

The lessee is a company and is not deducting any TDS concluding Room Rent to be below Rs. 180,000 yearly. Is this correct? Whether TDS should be deducted on whole Rs. 25,000?

15 January 2012 TDS has to be deducted from Total Amount of Rs 25000, as Section 194I specifically mentions RENT PAID FOR LAND, BUILDING, FURNITURE,ETC WHETHER PAID SEPERATELY OR TOGETHER.

16 January 2012 Thanks for correcting me Ravikant Ji.

TDS is also deductible on security deposit given by tenant which is adjustible against future rent. but if security deposit is refundable then TDS is not deducted.
