Section 194I – TDS on Rent

Tax Glossary Definition

Section 194I – TDS on Rent

Under this section, any person responsible for paying rent for land, buildings, machinery, or equipment must deduct tax at source if the total rent during the financial year exceeds the specified threshold. The applicable TDS rate depends on the type of asset being rented—for example, 10% for land or buildings and 2% for plant or machinery.

Example: Suppose a company pays ₹1,00,000 as rent for an office space in a financial year. The payer must deduct TDS at 10%, resulting in a deduction of ₹10,000.
