Mr. Deepak
I agree with Mr. Parthsarthy & Ms. Silky Jain. The Salary paid to karta is a allowable as an expenditure. but salary paid should be reasonable, as per nature & size of business, otherwise to some extent it may disallow. Further, HUF is holding separate status, and salary paid to karta for the running & management of business will be in the capacity of individual, hence TDS can be deducted if it is applicable as mentioned by Ms Silky Jain.
