Structuring notes

Indicative planning aid. Salary is deductible to the company but taxable in the founder's hands; dividend is paid from post-tax profit and taxed again personally. The comparison uses slab tax (new or old regime, with 4% cess) and ignores surcharge thresholds, employer-NPS and perquisite structuring, professional tax, and the reasonableness/s.40A(2) limits on remuneration. Confirm with a full computation before deciding.
