Rent Free Accomodation by CG

employer is central government and providing rent Free Accomodation to employees.
CG (employer) doesn't own the house and therefore CG (employer) deducts TDS u/s 194-I on rent payment to landlord.

now the question is, whether this Rent free accomodation is taxable in the hands of employees? as CG (employer) has already deducted TDS on rent payment.

if yes, then isn't it attract double taxation on single rent income??

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether rent-free accommodation provided by the Central Government (CG) is taxable for employees. The CG deducts Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under Section 194-I on rent paid to landlords. The core question is whether this arrangement leads to double taxation for the employee, as the CG has already accounted for the rent expense via TDS.

It is not taxable (in general sense)...if it's shown as a perquisite in form 16 then it's taxable
