Rent in excess of 180000/-

Tax queries 1808 views 4 replies

Hi friends ,

An employee is paying rent of Rs.20000/- p.m  and submits the same for HRA calculation.

For Deduction of TDS by tenant the limit is Rs.180000/- p.a or 15000/- p.m under sec 194I .Since he is an individual he needs not deduct TDS from rent payment.

But my doubt is ,does he needs to sumbit any other details ,relating to owner ,to employer like PAN of owner and any other bcz my senior has limited rent paid by employee to 15000/- p.m for HRA calculation even though they submits the bills for 20000/- p.m

It is compulsory to quote PAN number of landlord on the rent receipt if amount exceeds Rs.15000. Otherwise I belive it will not qualify for deduction.

You can refer Central Board of Direct Taxes  CIRCULAR NO. 05/2011, DATED 16-8-2011 vide which CBDT said those paying more than Rs 15,000 as HRA every month, or Rs 1.8 lakh annually, need to furnish a copy of their landlord’s permanent account number (PAN), along with the rent receipts.

Thank You very much Dayananda.

He need not submit any documentations if TDS is not deducted under the provisions.The HRA part is taken care off by Sec 10(13) & rule 2A
