I have a Flat in Mumbai, occupied on L&L basis, by 2 individuals, each of whom is paying Rs 40,000/- p.m. as rent.

Query:

1) Do they need to deduct 5% towards TDS from the rental amount? 

2) If TDS is to be deducted, does it have to be done every month, or can the entire TDS be deducted and deposited in the last month of the FY?

Appreciate advise.
