Salary to be received in a relatives account

Hi,

The company is not able to pay salary to the employee since his account has been deactivated by the bank due to some reason. He has applied to open another account but the account is not opened yet. In the interim he wants his salary to be credited in his daughter's account.
What will be the implications for this - Tax and other wise?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the implications of receiving salary in a relative's bank account when your own account is temporarily unavailable. While it might be permissible for a short period with proper documentation, it's generally advisable to open a new account promptly. Alternatives like cash payment may also be considered, but verifying the specifics with the employee and relevant authorities is crucial.

If you keep proper documentation, with bank papers, etc. for 1 month it may be ok.

but I am surprised , a new account can be opened 8 days max (except present corona crisis}. so better wait for 8 days and credit the proceeds to correct account .

my views
I think, you can also make salary in cash there is certain exception of making payment in cash as per income tax act,
As per my view.,

No problem. You can transfer his daughter's bank account.

But, Better to get correct details from that employee.
Okay thanks a lot!
