A private medical professional is asking if they can pay their retired doctor wife a salary for services rendered at their clinic. The advice given is yes, she can be paid as an employee. Crucially, as she is a qualified BAMS doctor, her salary income will not be clubbed with your income for tax purposes and will be treated separately.
