It’s not illegal to have a side job. 

What does my freelancer do?
Met on up work, exchanged contacts, did the transaction off the platform ie offline, transferred money to his mother’s account

So if i receive payment through upwork.
Can my employer know that?

Because receiving payment off platform is risky i guess.

Analyst

Yes receiving payment off platform is risky business. But it does work, once you have a trusted clientele. 

Else mostly if amount is not more than 40k/50k you won’t be caught

How do you find jobs on upwork. Any tips?

I'm new to upwork and haven't started freelancing.

Software Lead

Can my employer find out if I started freelancing in upwork?  Upwork asks for pan details. So by any chance my employer can find out from the income tax portal or something?

Hey folks,
I want to dip my hand in freelancing.
My job is quite laid back and i have a lot of free time.

I have been grinding leetcode in my free time but I'm bored of it. So, I decided why not use this to expand my real working knowledge and earn some side income too.

Any experienced freelance person, please guide on how to start and where to. I know it takes a serious hustle to break the first client. But starting itself seems daunting to me.

Thanks for your time

Can i continue taking freelance income in my salary account or should I avoid taking freelance income under my PAN and get that in maybe my parents account?

Moonlighting

Any full time employees freelancing here? How do you manage your taxes? Also, is it a violation of corporate policies?

Growth Manager

So my friend moonlights, does two jobs. My friend was wondering if one jobs income can be shown as business income? Or does that need some other contract? Does anyone know?

Got laid off and had to join a shitty company. If I get a job in other company, I don’t plan to mention my present company as my last working job. Is that fine? Would they by any chance track previous employer through pf or tax?

Employer can know who is my prev employer?

Jupiter, the planet, not the company xD


Okay but seriously though, my friend who works at a startup, is also in a freelancing company (all remote). He asked me to contact my ex company for a possible referral....and that he's actively looking for a 3rd job.

I mean work wise, I'm pretty sure he's using AI tools to work on 2 (now possibly 3) jobs. But won't companies find out, based on his form 16 (I'm kind of a newbie on taxation)? How do companies not realise this or is it that companies can't really find out (?)

Explain in detail how to pull this off :3

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I'm currently working on an FTE job - wherein the offer letter its mentioned "During the term of your employment with the Company, you may not engage in any employment or act in any way, which either conflicts with your duties and obligations to the Company, or is contrary to the policies or the interests of the Company."

Now, I'm getting enough time and I want to consider working in a 0-1 startup, and the new company I'm joining will know about my current employer - The above mentioned is the only clause the current employer have regarding working in other company. Can the current employer legally put a case anytime in the future if they get to know this? - what are the loopholes I can use here?

What position I can join in as (Consultant, Advisory role) - Still an early career professional in order to avoid conflict afterwards.

Thank you for your help!!

Needed quick Legal Advice - On Moonlighting

Question to guys who are working part time for a startup Or foreign client along with a regular job.. How do you manage payments and hide your side-gig from your primary employer? 

Can you take payments in your own account or in account of someone else? 

How do you ensure your employer don't find out.. Perhaps use a different laptop .

Don't tell me the Upwork or Fiverr because they are more crowded or tell me any other platform or any resource where you get good results for finding the freelancing projects.

Anyone can tell the right strategy to get Good Freelancing project??

Just want to get inputs from those who freelance along with being salaried. I am wondering how people do ITR filing when they’re directly receiving payment from their clients abroad (inward remittance) on their own name (no company created for offering ur service) as well as have their monthly salary ? As much as I’ve read you would be filing ITR-4 but then wouldn’t this reveal to ur current or next employer that u worked 2 places?
Really curious to know as it’s ITR filing time.

Wouldn’t ITR be a mess for salaried employee who also freelances?

Hello, I started working as SDE at a regular tech firm a few months back. Prior to that I wanted to get into freelancing, even did a few projects.

In the offer letter it's clearly stated that "shouldn't have any other interest in business" and talking around looks like they probably don't want us to have any other sources of income.

I feel confident in few skills that I can more on side, (not greedy need more financial stability)

My Questions
[1] Freelance platforms (fiver, upwork, etc) ask for pan, is it okay if I give my friends/family pan ?
[2] Should I register for a LLP on their name, use that pan everywhere and run the business myself ?
[3] Is it good idea to run it under an alias ?


Any advice / insight / experience would be highly appreciated 🙏

Can I work for full time at an org and do a contract role for another org? 

Will it be possible to find this out by any of the organisations if I don't provide UAN and EPF details for Contract role?

Full time + Contract

So I have got full time job offer and they have asked the current CTC which I gave a rough estimate but also it's freelancing payments from different sources so how will company verify the current CTC if they want to and if they try to ask for proofs how can it be provided?
