Renting apartment in India

Post by AbbyBaby »

Hello,

As NRI, I own an apartment jointly with my spouse in India. I want to rent it out. I read that tenant will have to deduct TDS at 31.2% each month and deposit to IT department. From 2026 onwards, can tenant do so using their PAN or they still need a TAN? Also, NRI can deduct 30% as maintenance cost from total rent earned. So taxable rent will be only total rent for year - 30% of annual rent? If this falls below 400000 each for me and my spouse, then is it mandatory to file tax?
