There is a provision under Section 197 of the Income Tax Act for obtaining a certificate from the Assessing Officer of the I.T. Department to not deduct tax at source on rent or to deduct at a lower rate for buildings let out for commercial use. The landlord (building owner) has to apply for this certificate in Form 13 to the concerned I.T.O. and obtain a certificate. Based on this, the tenant will not deduct tax on rent. This certificate must be obtained every year. This provision is not applicable for buildings let out for residential use. The current limit of rent is 1,80,000/- per annum (increased from 1,20,000 to 1,80,000 during this year).
