I have a shop, being a senior citizen unable run it now. Planning rent it out without any furniture, stock etc. A person is ready to take on rent. Rent agreed is Rs. 40,000/- per month for agreement of five years. In this case, is  the tenant required to deduct TDS while paying rent and deposit to Govt.? If yes at what rate and under which section? If not then again under which section is exumted?   Dilip Ranadive.
