@ Ashfaqbhai: You are not liable to get registered under GST. and hence you are not liable to charge GST over the rent of land. (as your aggregate supply is much below 20 lakhs, basic exemption limit)
When you are not registered, but your tenant is registered under GST.......... as per rules, tenant has to pay GST under reverse charge at 18% GST over the rental (inward) supply. and pay it to government. Good point is that the tenant can claim it back as ITC from outward (taxable) supply. So, inthat case it is not loss to tenant also.
As far as income tax TDS of 10% is concern....... it is genuine...... and you are getting refund also.
But here the mentality of tenant is to get benefit of 18% GST deduction from your rent, which is not legitimate. As per law even if the gst be levied on any supply..... it is the liability of service receiver to pay from own pocket.......... but cannot deduct it from the service provider. So, write accordingly, as per law.....they are not supposed to deduct any GST over the rental charges paid to landowner. Good Luck......
