i Have doubt regarding TDS on Rent. Our company Paying a rent 20000/- per month which contains 17500/-rent and 2500/- maintenance. this 20,000 is as per rent deed. Upon 20,000/- we are deducting TDS at 10%.i.e 2000. Up to here it is ok.
apart from rent we are giving 2000/- per month (which is not mentioned in deed). my doubt is,whether we need to deduct tax upon 20000 or 22000/-
under sec 194I it says that "any payment made to under lease,tenancy,or under agreement or under arrangement for use of land,building...."
here we are paying to same persons in 3differnt manners
1. Rent - 17,500/-
2. Maintenance - 2,500/- (as per Deed)
3. Maintenance - 2,000/- (with out Deed)
An other case if the payment made to the same person a single amount for maintenance (apart from deed).ie 24000/- (2000*12)single payment.
