DEAR
FIRST \OF ALL, NO TDS ATTRACTED ON THE MEMBERSHIP FEE. THERE IS NO NEED TO DEDUCT THE TDS ON MEMBERSHIP FEE WHICH IS LIABLE TO BE PAID BY THE EMPLOYEE CONCERNED.
IT IS TAXABLE AS PERQUISITE IN THE HANDS OF EMPLOYEES UNDER SEC 17(4) OF THE INCOME TAX ACT. THUS, WHILE COMPUTING TDS ON SALARY ON THOSE EMPLOYEE FOR WHOM THE MEMBERSHIP FEE HAS BEEN PAID, SUCH MEMBERSHIP FEE PAID SHOULD BE ADDED TO THEIR SALARY FOR CALCULATING TDS.
FURTHER, EMPLOYER PAYING SUCH MEMBERSHIP FEE WOULD GET THE DEDUCTION OF THE SUCH MEMBERSHIP FEE PAID.
REGARDS,
MANOJ
