If two individuals , jointly pay a rent of 20,000 p.m.to an individual as rent for a house .One pays Rs.15000 and the other Rs.5000( in current financial year ), will it attract TDS?.
Both are salaried ( father and daughter - each availing HRA benefits )
If no under what rule and if yes under what rule.
As per Act currently Rent above Rs.1.80 lakhs per annum paid as rent ,will attract TDS ?

As per my view, The provisions of section 194-I do not normally cover any payment for rent made by an individual or HUF except in cases where the total sales, gross receipts or turnover from business and profession carried on by the individual or HUF exceed the monetary limits specified under clause (a) or clause (b) of section 44AB.

Yes In your case TDS will attract if we assumed that both are paying 10,000 -10,000 than every one is paying 1.2 lakhs in a year it is more than 1 lakh so TDS will attract.

Agree with Pragnesh Sitapara and would like to add that..... TDS needs be made if the rent is/to be claimed as a business expense and tax audit was applicable in PREVIOUS YEAR to the individual/huf.
