Helo Pooja!!
The kind of lease you are talking about is generally known as self lease which means " the property owner is employee and employer takes this property on rent from employee then again given to employee for residing for which employer pays rent to him "
In the case of self lease the rent paid to the employees would be taxable in the hands of employees as house property income, for which company is liable to deduct TDS u/s 194I.
The accomodation provided to the employee would be treated as perquisite in the hands of the employees and employees are liable to pay tax on the same as per normal provisions.
In this case there would be double taxation.
Thanks & Regards
