TDS on Rent: If the rent of your house is more than Rs 50 thousand, then you must be aware that TDS is also deducted on it. This TDS has to be deducted by the tenant himself on the rent paid to the landlord and has to be deposited with the government by the 7th of the next month. From October 1, 2024, this TDS has been reduced to 2 percent (TDS Rate), which used to be 5 percent before that.
In such a situation, it is possible that some people may have deducted 5 percent TDS instead of 2 percent. In this situation, even if you have deducted 5% TDS, the landlord will get the benefit of only 2% TDS credit. In such a situation, either you can claim refund of additional TDS or get it adjusted from the landlord.
