This query is : Resolved
Hello Sir
I am getting a house on rent but the rent agreement would be between myself and a company who owns the apartment.
Can I go ahead and make a rent agreement.
If an individual pays rent to a company owned property is there any TDS deduction to be done by me!!
How do I claim rent benefit in my HRA from Income tax as the pan card would be of the company.
Is this legal!!!
Please respond Sir
regards

Yes, you can make such payment and apply for HRA exemptions. Compnay having been the landlord will not make any difference.

You can pay rent to company if property belong to company. TDS has to be deducted if annual rent is above threshold limit.

Yes you can. You will have to deduct TDS if the monthly rent is more than Rs.15000/- i.e., annually Rs.180000/-. You will have to remit this deduction to IT Department on monthly basis for which you need to register yourself with IT Dept. Your CA will guide you in this aspect.
