You are liable to deduct tax under section 194I on the basis of the rates prescribed therein. This section is omnibus to include all payments are regarded as rent irrespective of their different nomenclature. However in the assessment, one can take a different stand as to to nature and character of receipt.For deduction of TDS has no exception or immunity from non deduction. Only income generated does enjoy exemption to a certain extent, while all other tax obligations are mandatory.
