A person is appointed in a company as consultant , but he has work as regular employee. Whether his Income is taxable u/h salary or profession Income u/h PGBP ?
If taxable u/h PGBP , he spend 300rs daily as a travelling expense for reaching office . Whether such travelling expense will be allowed as expenditure u/h PGBP.
what will be the consequence if his company deduct tds @ 10%, as if he is carring a profession ?

taxable under the head profits and gains from business or profession , you can clam the tds amount deducted by the company through 26 AS

It's not about the way you work. its the position you carry which defines the status of a taxable person.Here he is appointed as a consultant, which obviously declares him as a professional. so tds @ 10% is correct. And yeah you can claim travelling expense as expenditure too. Adios
