Tax to be deducted at source either at the time of credit of such income to the account of payee or at the time of payment whicever is earlier.
In your case Rent became payable on 31.03.09 if the expenses debited in your account and the TDS rate would be inclusive of surcharge and cess.
Exception: if you follow cash basis of accounting TDS rate would not attract surcharge and cess.
