| Dear Akhil,
In the instant case, when the foreign parent company is making payment of salaries to their employees working in India, then they itself are responsible to deduct TDS u/s 192 of Income Tax Act, 1961 [ Please refer the judgment of Supreme Court in the case of Eli Lilly & Co. India Pvt. Ltd. - Civil Appeal No.5114/2007].
Further, when the salary payment made to employees by the foreign parent company is reimbursed by the Indian company, then there is no need to deduct TDS u/s 195. However, this view (i.e. non deduction of TDS on reimbursements) can be contended by the department, in which case the same needs to be litigated at appropriate judicial forum.
Hope the above suffice.
