TDS Catagory

This discussion explores the correct TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) category for travel advances paid to employees, particularly when the employee is also covered under PF. The core question is whether such advances, used to settle team travel expenses and amounting to approximately 12 lakhs annually, should be treated under contractor TDS. The thread also considers potential difficulties for the employee and the conditions under which an employee might be classified as a contractor.
