SC to take call on TDS for nuns and priests at govt-aided schools

Supreme Court to decide whether salaries of nuns and priests working as teachers in government-aided Christian missionary schools should be subject to income tax. The income gets transferred to the congregation or diocese running the school, and the congregation submits returns wherever necessary. The main ground taken in these appeals is that incomes of nuns and priests become the income of the congregation which runs the school and that these teachers personally do not acquire the money paid as salaries. The income gets transferred to the congregation or diocese running the school.
