10 February 2013 The income earned round the clock 7x24 is taxable. Income Tax does not differentiate between day shift allowances and night shift allowances. The amount is taxable.
.
You have to consider the amount for TDS purpose.
.
The decision about the head of income may be taken from the fact that, whether the amount is reaching him through your Professional Fee ( Consider the same under the head Salary)

or being directly paid to him without crediting your Fee A/c( IFOS).
