The answer to all the queries is YES.
TDS shall be deducted as normal employee if she stays in India for more than 182 days . Take care to deduct TDS on any salary paid outside India when she is serving indian co.
Thanks for your reply. But I am bit confused. Can she apply for Employment visa instead of Business visa and come to India. If we take her on the payroll of the company can she also apply for any loans. You said that TDS has to be deducted on normal rates if she stays back for more than 182 days.Sir a humbel request if you can please refer one case study of Verizon Data Service I Pvt Ltd vs CIT and explain me. Thanks a ton in advance for all the help

If she is working for Indian company and on payroll of Indian Company then she can certainly apply for employment VISA.
Regarding loans , it shall depend on the policies of bank granting loan.
I hope you are referring to AAR ruling of Verizon Data Service I Pvt Ltd , wherein the payment made to the foreign Company for reimbursement of salary was treated as FTS and held chargeable to tax in India. Personally I don't agree with the contention of AAR in that ruling, simply because one income cannot be taxed twice in India.
