Can consultancy fees at Sikkim be paid to a/c in Phillines?


My brother who is a USA citizen but stays in Phillipines has got a conract to work in a hydroelectric project in Sikkim as consultant run by a Public Limited Company. As per he Agreement the employer will pay the income taxes. His reimbursement/ fee is to be paid into an account nominated by  him  off shore to Philippines.All Indian Taxes and costs are to be paid by the employer and tax receipt for tax paid issued at time of payment of consultancy fee.
Would the learned experts kindly answer the following. 

1) Shall he be required to open I.T.File, obtain PAN Card & file return?

2) What are the requirements and protocols to transfer funds to account in Philippines
3) Can he nominate payment to account in his wifes name at Phillipines?He will be in India on working visa.

I will be thankfull if the experts kindly give their opinion at the earliest.
