only rent quotient to be seen for threshold limit of Rs 180000 provided that the payment for utilities is against the bills raised by the landlord seperately.

TDS will be deductible only on Rent portion.

If any other utility charges are also being paid then it must be separately mentioned in the Bill or a separate bill should be raised for that.

Also you can refer the rent agreement, if the other utility charges are part of Rent then in such case TDS to be deducted on both.
