One of my client is having only 3 staff in his office. He gives salary to one of his staff as Rs. 75,000/- per month and doesn't deduct any tds since he don't have TAN number. Is there any way to show this amount in the books in such a way so that he can escape the TDS compliance.
The only reason he don't want to take TAN number as he doesn't have many employees.
Salary amount is exceeding the exemption limit. Is there any other expense apart from Salary which can be given to employee so that salary amount expense can be reduced.

Yes, my client can give part of the salary amount to the employee as Professional fees. But the TDS deduction limit for 194J is 30,000/-. So he cannot give professional charges in excess to that and the total salary of the employee is 75,000/-. Still 45,000/- remains, which means on 45,000/- my client has to deduct tds as salary goes above exemption limit.
