Dear Namita,
According to me, since the 9,00,000 forfeited is not in the nature of rent, TDS should not be deducted.
As per the settlement agreement, only the amount of 25,00,000 is taken as rent for the unexpired period of the lease and not 9,00,000. This 9,00,000 is more in the nature of a penalty then rent…
Hence, prima facie the TDS should not come….
However, for this, the exact wordings of the agreement need to be checked.

SO Your opinion is that
TDS is to be deducted on 25,00,000/-(unexpired period rent) and not on 9,00,000 (security deposit adjusted)
As per 194I (Circular issued by CBDT)
If Security deposit is refundable, no tax would be deductable at source since it cannot be treated as advance rent. However TDS is to be deducted when security deposit has been adjusted.
Please compare my case with the above sai clause.
