Section 40

yes you are absolutely ryt

Please go through the follwing link, which says that no disallowance will be attracted while calculating the Income from Business, if TDS has not being made on salaries paid to employees. In such cases, the employee will have to pay the tax by way of self-assessement  in the Asst Year alongwith interest if any u/s 234B&C.

Only if salary is paid to non-resident outside India then in such case only TDS is requried to be made & if no TDS is made then the entire salary paid is disallowed.
