Tds applicability

I Think Tds is applicable becouse exess limit cross  F.Y 2009-2010  limit has 1.20 lacs  both  arrangement deffirent but xyz one person payment made  so that tds is applicable u/s 194 I.

As per section 194I, payment made to any person exceeding Rs.120000/- ( in F.Y.2009-10 , Now 180000) for Rent of any Land or Building or plant & machinery.

TDS will be deducted @ 15% on the amount of rent paid for building from april to september and from october, 2009 to march, 2010 rate will be 10%.

and @ 2% on the amount of rent paid for Machinery from april to september and from october,2009 to march, 2010 rate will be 2%.

( Rates were changed from 1-10-2009)

(There is no difference in answer whether there are two separate contracts with the same person or one single contract.)

Limit of 120000/- is based on one person during the whole financial year and not on no. of contract with that person during the financial year.
