If Directors Remuneration is to be treated as Salary and TDS to be deduted Under Section 192; isnt he/she eligible for all the Tax exemptions Under section 10 under Income Tax Act, 1961?

Can deduction U/s 80GG be claimed, if HRA is not received and assessee dont have permenant residence?

Thank you

For a director to be an employee there must be an empoyer-employee relationship between dir-co.

There must be a valid appointment letter as an employee of co. All statutory deduction as done for all employees like PF etc should have been deducted.

Normanlly directors are  not considered as an employee of d company.Even if tds is deducted u/s 192 in my opinion no benefit shall be avaliableu/s 10 as allowed to a valid employees of a  co.

Correct me if i am wrong.

So if there is an Employer Employee Agreement between Dir-Co then sec 10 exemptions can be claimed?

however directors sitting fees will be subject to TDS under 192J
