Dear Laxmisha,

TDS will be applicable u/s 194I - Rent

Pls refer to this case - Not the same facts but yes very much similar -

Landing Fee/Parking Fee in airports - Landing of aircraft or parking aircraft amounts to user of land of airport and, hence, landing fee and parking fee will amount to ‘rent’ within meaning of Explanation (i) to section 194-I - United Airlines v. CIT [2006] 152 Taxman 516 (Delhi)/CIT v. Japan Airlines Co. Ltd. [2009] 180 Taxman 188 (Delhi).
