For a Private Limited Company paying a ₹12,00,000 salary to a director in FY 2025-26, TDS falls under Section 192 and is calculated using the director's applicable tax slabs. If the director relies purely on this salary under the New Tax Regime, no TDS needs to be deducted due to the standard deduction and Section 87A rebate. Private Limited Companies face no statutory cap on how much they can pay directors, provided the salary is approved by a board resolution and represents a reasonable business expense under the Income Tax Act.
