What is the TDS rate on Lease Rental payment

In my opinion TDS on lease rental would fall under the purview of sec. 194I.

Dear Varsha,

As per Sec 194I , TDS on Rent is to be deducted as follows -

a) two per cent for the use of any machinery or plant or equipment; and

 (b)  ten per cent for the use of any land or building (including factory building) or land appurtenant to a building (including factory building) or furniture or fittings:)

No deduction is to be made if Rent to a person doesnot exceed 1,20,000 in a year.

Sec.194I ,rate 2%

does 2% apply even for lease rent of car paid by company  as an expense on behalf of director?

Yes 2% TDS would be applicable.

Such lease rent payment on behalf of the director would also  be considered as perks in the hands of the director
