This discussion clarifies whether an individual can simultaneously be a director and draw a salary from two different companies. While a person can hold directorships in up to 20 companies, they can only act as a whole-time director for one. Therefore, an individual can only draw remuneration from a single company, with TDS provisions under Section 192 or 194J applying accordingly.
Please confirm a query.

Section 165(1) of the Act states that a person can hold the office of director simultaneously in 20 companies. The number of 20 companies includes the office of alternate directorship.

No. A person can act as a whole time director of only one company and not more than one company. Hence he can draw remuneration from one company only.
