Regarding TDS Applicability For Director Remuneration


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
Director remuneration is taxed under Sec 192 only if an employer-employee relationship exists. Without PF/PT, it's treated as professional fees under Sec 194J with 10% TDS. Wrong deduction may lead to interest, penalty, and compliance issues.

21 April 2026 IF REMUNERATION IS BEING PAID TO A DIRECTOR IN PRIVATE LTD AND NEITHER PF IS DEDUCTED NOR ANY PROFESSIONAL TAX IS PAID THEN UNDER WHICH SECTION TDS SHOULD BE DEDUCTED SEC 192 OR 194J?

21 April 2026 Section 192 (Salary): Requires an employer-employee relationship (typically involves PF and PT).

Section 194J (Professional Fees): Applies to non-employee directors.
