02 April 2016 Dear experts
please spare your valuable time in giving advice to my query

1) A pvt ltd company is paying remuneration of Rs 5 lakh to its director who is also shareholder. does this remuneration comes under purview of reverse charges ( refere notification no 45/2012) . no sitting fees or commission is paid. the payment is purely on account of employee employer relationship.

2) The same director is also having rental income in his individual name amounting to Rs 8 lakh per annum . How to calculate basic exemption limit amount of 10 lakh in this case. Does the value of remuneration under reverse charge will be added to Rs 8 lakh rental income for the purpose of calculation of basic exemption limint.

Thanks in advance.
