One of our party has submitted one bill for godown rent for October 2012 with us. However AO has given the exemption notification u/s 197 and grant a rebate of tds deduction of 9.5% on 16th October 2012. Now I want to ask that should we deduct 10% for the 1st 15 days and .5% for the next 15 days. Or should I ask the party to make to different bill so that we can deduct the TDS differently..

Assumption is that rent bill is dated 1st Oct. And on 1st Oct you were to deduct tax @ 10% as on this date neither landlord nor tenant were aware of decision of AO for reduced rate of TDS.
request for two bills for Oct only will be purely a non-accounting practice.

DATE OF CREDIT IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR HERE. THEREFORE, IF THE SAME IS ON OR AFTER 16TH IRRESPECTIVE OF THE DATE OF BILL, TDS SHOULD BE 0.50%

Thanks Piyush & Soumitra Piyush-Though I also hold the same opinion as of you. But since you are saying that for 1st 15 days tds to be deducted @10% and for next @ .5% (My view is also same) but in that case for bill of october we are giving credit on 2nd nov & payment on whatever next day say after 2nf nov
