I read that sitting fees paid to directors would come under purview of 194(J).The reason it seems is that he can be defined as manager under companies act..1956,which seems to be an absurd explanation!! How can tat definition be applied to income tax act ???Should come under194(J) ??

A director is also a manager under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. He is, therefore, technical personnel. Any payment made to such director (be it sitting fee or any other sum) shall be required to be taken into consideration for the purposes of deduction of tax at source under section 194J.
