12 July 2007 Hello,

Check if employer employee relation is existing. See if tax on employment i.e Profession Tax is deducted form his payment.If this is so, then it has to be salary.

If nothing is mentioned and the person gets the payment in the nature of fees, and for 16 A mentions the nature of payment as professional fees then,it has to be shown under professional income head.

So, I think that

If it is there, Definitely It's taxable as Salary.

Issuing a wrong form does not mean that employee will become Out sider.
