Refer section 194-I: No deduction of TDS applies where the rent is less than Rs. 1,80,000/year. that means till Rs. 15,000/month, it is not liable for a bank to deduct TDS on the amount paid but if monthly rent is more than Rs. 15,000, then 10% of the rent paid is to be deducted as per section 194-I as said above. This section does not applies to invidual or HUFs paying to the owners. Bank, not being an individual or HUF, liable to deduct 10% TDS every month.
