All Experts,
May I request the experts to let me know the TDS % to be deducted for
rental payments made to NRI for their commercial buildings rentals. To my
knowledge it comes u/s195 and tds to be deducted @ 30.9%(30%+EC3%). Please
tell me whether I am right. Please advise
Regards,

Your reply does not say anything about the percentage of tds deducted as i asked in the above query.
Sec 195 of the Income Tax act states that when the payment is made to Non Resident of India by the Indian Resident of India then TDS is required to be deducted by the Indian Resident of India at the rate in force or DTAA rate (whichever is beneficial to the assessee.
So in the Instant case ,TDS is required to be deducted on payment of Rent to NRI.
When the rental payment made to the NRI by the Indian Resident then he is required to deduct TDS under section 195 . Section 195 requires the Indian Resident to deduct TDS when payment made to NRI at the rate in force (20%) or DTAA rate (whichever is beneficial to the assessee .
