1. Yes as Total Rent during the year is more than Rs.2,40,0000. (Refer Sec 194I) but only if your turnover during the last year is more than Rs.1 crore.

2. Rent less TDS

3. Depends on the reason why you pay rent.

TDS will not be applicable in that case.

As per Sec 194I, "Any person, not being an individual or a H.U.F., who is responsible for paying to a resident any income by way of rent is liable to deduct tax at source as and when aggregate of the amount of such income credited or paid or likely to be credited or paid during financial year exceeds Rs. 2,40,000/-. Individuals or H.U.F.s who were subject to tax audit under Sec. 44AB during the financial year immediately preceding the financial year in which such rent was paid or credited are also liable to deduct tax at source."
