27 July 2025 Hey! Regarding **TDS on rent paid by a bank to its employees**, here’s what applies:

---

### TDS on Rent Paid by Bank to Employees

* When a bank pays rent to its employees (like house rent allowance or actual rent), **TDS provisions under Section 194I apply if the rent exceeds Rs. 2,40,000 per annum** (Rs. 20,000 per month).
* If rent paid **exceeds Rs. 2,40,000 in a financial year**, the bank must deduct **TDS @ 10%** on the rent amount exceeding this limit.
* If rent paid is **below Rs. 2,40,000 per year**, no TDS deduction is required.

---

### Summary:

| Rent Paid per Year | TDS Requirement |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------ |
| Up to Rs. 2,40,000 | No TDS deduction |
| Above Rs. 2,40,000 | Deduct TDS @ 10% on total rent |

---

### Additional Points:

* TDS should be deducted **at the time of credit or payment, whichever is earlier**.
* The employee’s PAN should be taken; otherwise, TDS @ 20% applies.
