We should make a clear distinction between remuneration paid to Managing/Whole Time directors and Non executive/Independent Directors.
As per companies act, MD and WTD are considered as employees only.
Hence, whatever remuneration is paid to them is included in Salary cost of the company and disclosed in notes on accounts and is taxable in their hands as "Salary Income".
Whereas if any remuneration is paid to directors other than MD/WTD, the same is shown as an expense in the financials and shall be taxable as Income from other sources in the hands of directors.
