Small scale statistics of a passive scalar convected by turbulence under the uniform mean scalar gradient is studied by high-resolution direct numerical simulation. It is found that the scaling exponents of the structure functions of scalar increments in parallel and perpendicular directions to the mean gradient are the same and saturate approximately 1.3 at large order, and that they are dependent on scalar injection scheme at large scales within the Reynolds numbers studied. Tails of the probability density functions for the scalar increment in the inertial convective range are well fitted by a scaling form inferred from the saturation and the tail of the one point scalar probability density function.
