TDS-rent on a temporary stay


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion concerns whether a Private Limited company needs to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on rent paid for temporary executive stays. The payments totalled £90,000 over six weeks. While one opinion suggests Section 194-I might not apply due to the annual rent limit, another considers the possibility of Section 194-C being relevant, though this is debated post-amendment.

31 May 2022 Dear Friends,

A Pvt Ltd. pays rent to an individual for temporary stay of its executive as under:
May 15, 2022 Rs 30000 for two weeks
May 31, 2022 Rs 30000 for two weeks
July 1, 2022 Rs, 30000 then for two weeks

Total 90,000 for 6 weeks.

Is A Pvt Ltd is required to deduct TDS on the above payments.

31 May 2022 In my opinion, no TDS is required to be deducted u/s 194I because the rent is less than Rs. 240000.
However, the stay is more contractual, so provisions of 194C may get attracted.

31 May 2022 Support the above observation except 194C (post amended w e f 1-10-2019).

01 June 2022 Thanks to ll. I don't think sec 194-C is applicable here.
