The Govt. had to take such steps as people are misusing the Rent as expense and exemption. Lot of LLs demand rent only in cash and not paying taxes and at the same time employees claiming HRA on Bogus receipts as LLs do not share PAN or give receipt for the rent collected. It is worth noting and appreciating, the things can move to simplification if people are honest. You might have read in news in last one year, the Anuual Income Returns which are paperless and with out proof being asked, is based on trust of honesty by Government on individuals declaration. However, this is being misused by unscruplous elements in securing undue refund of taxes from Authorities. So it is not worth blaming for the compliance of law.
GREED OF THE GOVERNMENT TO COLLECT THE TAXES BY ALL THE MEANS,FAIR OR UNFAIR,HAS CREATED UNPRECEDENTED HARDSHIPS FOR MANY TENANTS.THE GOVERNMENT HAS MISERABLY INCREASED THE CLERICAL WORK .THE TALENT OF THE NATION IS BEING WASTED ON FULFILLING THE FORMS AND UPLOADING THE DATA.
as per section 194-I TDS on rent shall be charged @10% in case of building /land or 2% in case of machinery then why 5% Should be deducted
