Frequently asked questions about TDS on rent

What is the TDS rate on rent paid to an NRI landlord?

Rent paid to a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) is subject to TDS at 31.2% (30% plus surcharge and 4% cess) under Section 195 of the Income Tax Act. There is no minimum threshold, and the tenant must hold a TAN and file Form 27Q each quarter.

What is the TDS rate on rent paid to a resident Indian landlord?

Rent paid to a resident Indian for land or building attracts TDS at 10% under Section 194-I, applicable when the rent exceeds ₹50,000 per month. If the landlord has not furnished a valid PAN, TDS is deducted at 20% under Section 206AA.

What is a Lower TDS (Section 197) certificate?

A landlord can apply to the Assessing Officer for a Lower or Nil TDS deduction certificate under Section 197. Once issued, the landlord must share the certificate with the tenant, who then deducts TDS at the reduced rate stated on the certificate instead of the standard rate.

How is the quarterly TDS schedule calculated?

The calculator groups the tenancy into quarters, applies the chosen TDS rate to each quarter's rent, and shows the amount to deposit with the government along with the due date. You can enter a different rent for each year of the agreement and export the full schedule to PDF or Excel.
