Rent payable is 14,000 till may (for 2 months) & 5% increase (15400 * 10 for the rest period), totaly rent payable is Rs. 182,000/-, TDS should be deducted from April itself or not.

Definately TDS must be deducted. See, if there is an agreement between the parties then assessee, who is required to deduct TDS, knows that the limit of Rs.180,000 will be crossed in the financial year. It has to deduct TDS from the very first payment.

As per the query asked by sagar, it is presumed that it was agreed between the parties about the escalation claim.

And if accept your situation that assessee realised the hike of rent in the month of June then correct assessee has to deduct TDS from the june but apart from that interest for the month of April and May has to be paid by assesee.
