09 April 2008 1.COmponent is partly removeble and partly affixed. However irrespective of that part the company has to leave the entire furniture as it is, without being compensated for it.

2.TDS on rent. If I have to pass a book entry for recording the entire penal rent(48*2lacs) and credit the rent exp account to the extent of book value of furniture and deposit surrendered/given up. Thus rental should attract 194I prov..
