Ya, there is no mention of this requirement in IT Act, but many Employers are insisting for PAN of landlord. Can we protest this requirement basis the IT Act?

If annual rent paid by the employee exceeds Rs 1,80,000 per annum, it is mandatory for the employee to report PAN of the landlord to the employer. In case the landlord does not have a PAN, a declaration to this effect from the landlord along with the name and address of the landlord should be filed by the employee.

That requirement is for the purpose of TDS. i.e if rent paid exceeds 180,000. So in turn it would apply
