06 March 2010 The threshhold limit is for payment of rent during the year and in case the total rent in the year does not go beyond Rs. 180K, TDS will not be deducted even if the agreement is only for 10 Months and for the other 2 months the icnome from rent does not exceed Rs 15K. It seems that your query has a hidden query that if you enter the rent agreement before july 2010 for rent income of 16500 whether the tax would be required to be dedcuted. the answer is NO.
