The company can pay the rent directly to the landlord and claim the same as the business expenses as the premises is being used by the company. It is sufficient if the board resolution to this effect is taken and passed in the board meeting.
In case the rent exceeds the prescribed limit then the Company should deduct the TDS and deposit the same in the name of the Land Lord.
