Often we underestimate the value of an extra in a film, who actually make up the background and set a scene. But, remuneration in the case of extras has now become a pressing issue for producers in the industry.

In light of the current taxation policies, the Income Tax department conducted a survey of 7 companies- Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms, Ritesh Sidwani-Farhan Akhtar owned Excel Entertainment, Vashu Bhagnani's Pooja Entertainment, Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films, Luv Ranjan's Luv Films, and Ajay Rai's Jar Pictures.

The report from the survey said that extras are not being charged a TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) of 10%, and are instead being charged 2%.

The 10% TDS has been applicable for 4 decades now. However, even actors and celebrities are charged 10% as they come under the category of 'skilled artistes'. Often extras are not considered 'skilled' being referred to in Hollywood as 'human props', but to the income tax officials, their appearance on screen however short, amounts to skill.
