Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on rental income for non-residents in India, specifically addressing the 31.2% rate under Section 195. It confirms that Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) benefits are available, particularly with the US. If a DTAA applies and TDS has been deducted, filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) in India is generally not required for the non-resident, provided rent is their sole income source.

Payments to non resident is covered by Section 195 .
