Salary slip format for consultants
Consultants and retainers are not salaried employees, so their monthly statement shows professional fees with TDS deducted under Section 194J instead of PF and professional tax. This format reflects that: fees plus reimbursements on the earnings side, TDS on the deductions side. Strictly speaking it is a fee statement, but clients and banks often still call it a salary slip.

What to customize in this format
Start with the header: replace the sample company name and address with your own details, and update the pay period to the current month. Then fill in the employee block — name, employee ID, designation, PAN and days paid — exactly as they appear in your records, because banks cross-check these against other documents.
On the earnings side, this format uses Professional Fees, Reimbursements with a sample basic of ₹60,000. Replace the sample figures with actual amounts, and rename or remove any head that does not apply to your pay structure. Recheck the gross, total deductions and net pay after every edit — a slip whose totals do not add up is the fastest way to get a document rejected.
Match the TDS row to what you actually deposit under Section 194J, and add the consultant's PAN and your TAN so the statement reconciles with Form 26AS.
