TDS on Rent

Earlier , there was only one section code  94I for TDS on Rent.  While preparing TDS return, 94I code was selected for deduction of TDS from Rent. But now there are two section codes in the Name 4IA or 4IB which have been replaced with 94I.

4IA :- 4IA code will be selected when 2% TDS will be deducted  for the use of any machinery or plant or equipment

       

4IB :- 4IB code will be selected when 10% TDS will be deducted  for the use of any land or building (including factory building) or land appurtenant to a building (including factory building) or furniture or fittings

Keeping in view the confusion in selection 4IA or 4IB, detailed Section  194-I is given below in the interest of deductor :-
