If he has filed the 15H i think the bank can pay without deducting tds as his total income well below 5 lakhs.

Form 15 H is used for Not deducting TDS on interest on deposit... & for this purpose form 13 for no deduction or lower deduction of tds.... my question is whether this practice is correct or not..???

If form of lower/no deduction of tds is given by landlord to tenant with approval of the prescribed income tax officer then it is fine if tds is not deducted. However for this , it is to be proved that total income would not exceed 5 Lacs in any case.

Dear Nikhil

As per section 194I of income tax act 1961, a person (other than Individual,HUF subject to condition section 44AB) require to deduct TDS on payment made to Landlord Except..

1. Total Rent payment is not exceed INR 1,80,000.

2. Deductee provides a lower/Non deduction Certificate.

In your case total amount paid to landlord is more than INR 180000. And bank can take the ground for non deduction of TDS only when "Landlord provides Non deduction/Lower Deduction Certificate" otherwise bank will have to pay Interest on Non deduction and late deduction of TDS.
