The Tribunal held that common area maintenance (CAM) charges are separate from rent and constitute contractual payments, making them liable for TDS under Section 194C. The AO is directed to recompute CAM charges accordingly.

The Tribunal found that CAM payments are contractual in nature and not for use of property, making 2% TDS deduction under Section 194C appropriate.
