If rent exceeds Rs. 10 lakhs then TDS is to be 17%. If below Rs. 10 lakhs then 15.45%. This is as per S. 194 I.

I just want to know if there is any amendment to the same.

Dear Kashmira:
A small amendment to your statement, It is not 17% if the rent exceeds 10 lakhs, but the general principle is, if an individual's net income exceeds 10 lakhs, then he is liable to pay surcharge @ 10%. The net tax payable hence works out to 17% after 3% education cess. You are absolutely correct. The rate of TDS for individuals & HUF is 15% and all other legal entities is 20%.

Thus 194 I reads as follows:
12[(a) ten per cent for the use of any machinery or plant or equipment;

(b) fifteen per cent for the use of any land or building (including factory building) or land appurtenant to a building (including factory building) or furniture or fittings where the payee is an individual or a Hindu undivided family; and

(c) twenty per cent for the use of any land or building (including factory building) or land appurtenant to a building (including factory building) or furniture or fittings where the payee is a person other than an individual or a Hindu undivided family:]
