I have rented out my flat to a company for a rent of 12000/- per month. I have received Rs. 10,800/- towards rent after the company deducted a TDS of Rs 1200/-. I hear that the TDS ceiling for house rent has been raised to 1,80,000/- with effect from this financial year. Is it right / confirmed? can I ask my tenant not to deduct the TDS in view of the raised ceiling?
