Dear All,

One of my client is making payment of Rent to a person. The property is situated in Bangalore but the owner is residing in Singapore. The payment will be made to his bank accounts in India.

Please clarify if there wil be any issue while deducting TDS as the payee is NRI. Whether normal rate of 10% or special rate and procedure will be applicable.
