194A is for Interest other than "Interest on securities". Section 194I- TDS on Rent. TDS is deductible at the time of credit or payment which ever is earliest. Sec. 194I does not mandate that the tax deduction should be made on a month-to-month basis, if it is credited & paid quarterly, TDS is deducted accordingly. Deduction is not required when the rent is due or paid by an Individual or HUF not carrying on a business which is audited under income tax law. All individuals or HUFs (except those liable to audit under clause a and b of section 44AB) paying monthly rent to a resident in excess of â?¹ 50,000 are liable to deduct TDS under section 194-IB. No tax is required to be deducted if rent due or paid < Rs.2,40,000
