Quick Summary
This discussion examines whether TV show anchoring can be classified as a profession for tax purposes, specifically under Section 44AA of the Income Tax Act. Participants debate whether anchoring, with its required skills and training, fits the definition of a profession, especially when there's no employer-employee relationship. The consensus leans towards it being a profession, akin to other vocations like artists or singers.

I think the anchor is profession so income can be claimed u/s 44AA

A paid occupation, especially one that involves prolonged training and a formal qualification, so it can be said as profession. Subject there is no employer employee relationship.

I agree with Mr. Tarak.

Agree
Profession include vocation as per sec 2 of IT ACT 1962 and vocation include artist singer eyc and anchor too
