	ABC LTD is real estate developers. It has launched a scheme to pay rent to customers at a specified rate on per square fit basis till the date of possesion which is expected to be after 3 years. So does the company can pay it as rent as such asset is under construction and can consider it as expenditure in P/L and also at what rate TDS will be deducted. Your reviews would be highly appreciated. Regards Vaibhav Bhatnagar

let the 3 years complete 1st, its just a scheme, and the company is going to pay nothing in real. either they are confident of completion within stipulated time, or they may divert the scheme in legal juglary to get more times.
