TDS has to be deducted if rent during the year exceeds Rs.180000. Rent for furniture, furnishings etc would be included in rent amount for computing TDS.

Dear Mr.Kumar.
Rent free accommodation is not directly taxable. But if you are in METRO CITIES 15% of your gross salary will be added towards perquisites and will be taxed and for other cities it is 10%. So while selecting this option you should find out which option is more beneficial.
Furnishing allowance also is taxable at 10% of cost rent on furnitures
