02 July 2011 Hi

Please clarify further your query. If the MNC has no presence in India then how the employment is possible in India.

If he is employed by singapore MNC in India, then the MNC shall be liable to deduct TDS u/s 192 on such salary if applicable as per the Supreme Court judgement in Elli Lilly. If TDS not deducted the person himself shall be liable to pay advance tax on such salary.

If he will be employed as commission agent, then it may create big issues. In case of dependent agent, he may be treated as representative assessee of the singapore company u/s 163 or can be treated as Permanent establishment of the singapore entity. In that case significant issues may be raised.

Hope all your queries are satisfactorily replied. Please let me know if any further clarification required.
