01 June 2014 It is not a right practise Mr Chetan, as the statute is casting a responsibility on you to levy, collect and discharge the tax hence you cannot shift the burden on to some other person. Though your intention are not to evade payment of tax the department will collect from you the tax, interest and penalty irrespective of the fact that your tenant has paid that tax.
