A comany has taken a house property on rent for its officer ,which is in joint name of Mr x and Mrs X. Comapny is paying Rs 13000/- P.M by a single cheque for rent
Whether company has to deduct the TDS on same ?if yes ,against whom PAN company can deduct TDS .

You can enter into agreement with one of them and pay rent to him with whom you have agreed with. TDS formalities will follow on th same lines

then u have to issue cheqes in both of the persons as per agreement and if that is below rs. 120000 in per person then u have not deduct the tds.

In my opinion as there is only one contract ,and that too in join name of Husband and wife so we cannot issue two cheques just to Avoid the tax.

If in the agreement the terms of Payment are disclosed,that company should (make the payment to) issue the cheque either on Husbund's or wife's name the company should deduct the TDS against the person to whom payment was made.

In the agreement, a clear mention is made indicating the amounts for which seperate cheques are to be drawn in the name of husband and wife. There is no harm in such writing. If property is held in joint names, we do well issue two seperate account payeee crossed cheques and obtain seperate acknowledgments from both husband and wife
