If the rent amount for FY 2013-14 was already credited in FY 2013-14 and only the payment was being made in FY 2014-15 then Rs 150000 of FY 2013-14 will not be considered in calculating the threshold limit for FY 2014-15.
Liability to deduct TDS arises on date of payment or credit whichever is earlier. SO if there was no credit entry in FY 2013-14 then TDS will have to be deducted in FY 2014-15 on entire amount.
