SECTION 194T
No, the provisions of Section 194T of the Income-tax Act, 1961, are not applicable to the reimbursement of travelling expenses to a partner.
Genuine reimbursements for actual business-related expenses incurred by a partner on behalf of the firm are specifically excluded from the ambit of this section.
To ensure this exemption is valid and the payment is not viewed as a disguised remuneration, the firm must maintain proper bills and documentation to justify the expense as a reimbursement for firm business.
