1. Unlike payment of salaries to other employees, payment of salary or remuneration to a director still breeds confusion among the deductors under which section TDS should be deducted..?
2. There must be an employer-employee relationship if the payment is to be covered under sec 192. In some cases, directors are not considered employees. That's the reason for calling the payment to directors as remuneration instead of calling it a salary.
3. So the provision of TDS will depend on the situation to situation basis. If he is paid salary under the contract of employment TDS u/s 192 should be deducted. If he is been paid remuneration, commission or any other sum which is not covered under salary, then TDS u/s 194J should be deducted. (10% without any threshold limit)
4. In your case since you have clearly mentioned as "Salary" sec 192 should apply.
