My mother is housewife. I have HRA component of 60K, If I pay rent of 60K to my mother, i.e. 7.2L per year, and I have to deduct TDS of 36K . Which PAN no. I have to use to deduct tds and pay the tax. Also can my mother get the tax refund, by filing ITR, as she does not have any other income?
Ans: Individual paying rent of more than 50k p.m. is required to deduct TDS using own PAN in Form 26QC in Sec 194 IB.
Recipient of Income (owner of property) should offer rent income to tax after deducting 30% of Income as a standard deduction. Taxable income is likely to be Rs.5,04,000. For FY 23-24, if taxable income is upto 7 lacs, tax liability under new tax regime will be zero.
