About this tool
India's TDS-on-rent rules have two paths. Section 194-IB (for INDIVIDUALS/HUF): applies when monthly rent ≥ ₹50,000. TDS = 5% of annual rent, deducted ONCE in the last month of tenancy year. Deposit via Form 26QC within 30 days + issue Form 16C to landlord. Section 194-I (for BUSINESSES/companies/firms): applies when annual rent ≥ ₹2.4 lakh. TDS = 10% (land+building) or 2% (plant+machinery), deducted MONTHLY. Deposit by 7th of next month via Form 26Q + issue Form 16A quarterly. Missing TDS = 30% expense disallowance + interest under Section 201.
