Hi.. Plz help..

U/s- 194I, TDS on Rent has to be deducted if such rent payable to a person exceeds Rs.1,20,000/- in PY.

What if the payment is made at Rs.70,000/- each to the 2 Co-owners of the one building?? Is TDS still to be deducted for both??

Hi Nitin,

If there are 2 co-owners and you are paying them Rs 70, 000 per co-owner per annum, t/w rent, then you need not deduct tds as the provision cleary says is for "any person" in a year. In your case there are not one but two persons, so you need not worry.

Case 2:- If you are paying one of the co-owner, say Mr. X more than Rs 120000 & coowner 2, say Mr Y less than Rs 120000, then you need to deduct tds only for X only.

If you paying both of them more than Rs 120000 per co-owner then you need to deduct tds for both.

Regards,

Sunitha
