NO DOUBLE DEMAND OF TAX Where the assessee has paid tax himself under section 191, the liability under section 201(1) shall be eliminated. (Clarification by Board(F.NO.276/201/96-IT (B) DATED 29.1.1997) however, this will not alter the liability to charge interest u/s 201(1A) or penalty u/s 271C.
However, in this case your rent expense will be disallowed u/s 40a.
The other option is...
Pay TDS amount with interest and ask your owner to file revised return and claim for refund. In this case you will be allowed to claim rent expenditure.
