Sir, Iam an employee in a company. I have a house. I let it out to a party @17000 p.m. The house is Situated in Chennai. The tenant is deducting TDS on it. The agreement entered is a lease agreement. I would like to know whether lessee can deduct TDS on it and whether iam supposed to file return of income and other tax implications arising out of this lease agreement.
