Quick Summary
When renting a factory shed for your manufacturing business, TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) on rent falls under Section 194I. The applicable TDS rate is generally 10% if the annual rent exceeds the exemption limit of Rs. 2,40,000. This rate applies to payments for the use of land and buildings, including factory sheds, regardless of whether it's considered plant and machinery. Individuals or HUFs may also need to deduct at 10% if they had a tax audit in the previous year.

As per Sec 194I , any person other than individual/Huf shall require to deduct TDS @ 10% on rent of building as it's more than exemption limit 240000/-
In case of Individual / Huf are required for Deuction if tax audit of Individual/Huf in last previous year done then he also have to deduct TDS @ 10% on rent.
As per Section 194I, rent is defined as
‘Rent’ means any payment, by whatever name called, under any lease, sub-lease, tenancy or any other agreement  or arrangement for the use of (either separately or together) any:

Land or

Building (including factory building) or

Land appurtenant to a building (including factory building) or

Machinery or

Plant or

Equipment or

Furniture or

Fittings

Whether solely owned by the payee or not.

Sub-letting is also considered and included.

In the current scenario, the rent is being paid for using land and factory shed on that, which cannot be treated as plant & machinery.Therefore TDS shall be done u/s. 194I @ 10%

Thanking for your valuable Information.
