TDS liability on Rent paid to NR in an Indian Bank

430 views 3 replies
An NRI (from Dubai) owns a flat in India. Flat is put on rent. Rent paid by tenant in Rupees in NRI's bank account with an Indian Bank (no actual remittance outside India).

My queries:
- Rent limit for TDS deduction ?
- Rate of TDS ?
- Is TAN required by tenant for TDS deposit ?
- Does tenant need to file 15 CA ?


Thanks & Regards

(P.S. - If there is any other point that is needed to be considered please share that as well)

1. No limit.

2. 30% + 4% cess u/s. 195 of IT act.

3. Yes.

4. No.

In case tenant doesn't deduct TDS, would there be any liability on Flat owner to deposit advance tax or any other liability/penalty for flat owner ?

As usual advance tax liability would arise, but otherwise no other specific requirement over owner due to non-deduction of TDS by tenant.

Better inform tenant about his TDS liability.
