It seems you miss the conceptual part of to understand what is a contract. . Contract is said to be entered when one person undertakes the work of another. . In this case; no contract is there because no work is being undertaken by Dharmashala on behalf of State Govt. . Regarding Rent; I don't think for 3-4 days; it is exceeding the limits prescribed under the Income-Tax Law. . Hence no need to deduct tax.
