Note that Sitting Fees of directors is considered as Manegerial Renumeration (Salary) under the Companies Act & Income Tax Act. Thus TDS is deductable as per the same process as for TDS on Employee salary
hi...
is the sitting fees paid to whole time directors or independent directors?
if it is for independent directors TDS need not be deducted (little bit doubt).. if it is for the whole time directors it must be treated as managerial remuneration and tds should be deducted u/s 192 of IT act....
TDS is calculated as per salary norms.
Dear, If Sitting fees paid to non executive director it will be treated as professional fees & accordingly TDS will be deducted u/s 194J.This director should only get sitting fee & not get any other remuneration.

What will be the calculation of TDS of Director Remuneration for the A.Y. 2008-09?  Will it be normal calculation as a normal assessee(Exempt up to 1,10,000/-)
