As per sec. 194I, for one-time rent payments, evaluate if the total payment in the year crosses the applicable threshold. TDS under section 194I is not required to be deducted if the annual rent paid for an exhibition hall or space is ₹70,000, as it is well below the current threshold limit of ₹6,00,000 per financial year (as revised for FY 2025-26).
In cases where the exhibition hall also includes services like event management or technical assistance, fees paid for such services might attract TDS under Section 194J, typically at 10%.

Thank you for your kind reply!
Some of the web sites also mention that if monthly rent is more than ₹ 50000 pm or ₹ 600000 pa. Those sites also mention that payment should be continuous i.e. monthly. So, it was confusing.

Yes, confusing picture; but difference is rental contract and single event... Secondly, in most of such cases sec. 194J or sec 194C is predominant, as mostly the owners of the hall declare the income under business head rather than income under HP. Usually, assessee deduct TDS to be on safe side.
Till date department has not issued any notification over the issue. So, I do accept that there can be difference of opinion.
