Dear All,

We have interns and trainee working in our company, and sought an expert advice if "interns and trainee stipend" will also be treated as salary when it comes to deduct tds on their income.

1st condition- If intern or trainee becomes employee after 3 -6 months of work in the company. 

2nd condition - If intern or trainee do not become employee after 3 -6 months of work in the company.

The bottom line is if employer should deduct TDS on this type of stipend payment.

Kind Regards, 

Kamal
