u/ 194I, TDS is to be deducted from rent if the payment exceeds Rs. 180,000/- in a year.

But you can deduct when you have a TAN number.

Yes you are liable to deduct Tax @ 10%. In case the payee is not willing to furnish his / her PAN details than deduct tax @ 20%

You must have TAN No in order to deduct tax. If you don't have, than apply for it.

As per IT Act, TDS is to be deducted on Rent is the payment exceeds Rs.180000 annually for building &land and also in case of Plant & Machinery.

In ur case if u have seprate receipt for building rent & air conditioner rent the u r not liable for TDS because AC is covered in Plant & Machinery otherwise u have to deduct tax at the applicable rates.

No TDS is liable to be deducted if the payment is being made by an Individual or HUF who is not required to get his audit done u/s 44AB. So, you being a salaried employee are not liable to deduct any TDS on the rent.
