Explanation
Under IT Act 2025 §393, the old Section 194I for rent is split into two codes. Code 1029 covers rent paid for plant, machinery, or equipment — rate 2%. Code 1030 covers rent for land, building, or furniture — rate 10%. The annual threshold for both is ₹2,40,000. If a single agreement covers both, apply the respective rates to each component. Old Section 194I applies to payments before 1 April 2026.
