How does Contract salary work for a fulltime role
I recently received an offer from a early stage startup. But they told that that pay in contractual basis. when asked about the reason they told that it helps the company and employees to save tax. How does it work? will it affect my future employment if I take this job? like if I join some other company will they accept that I was actually working fulltime. The role is fulltime, but only the money transaction will happen as contractual.

You fill tax under 44ADA, taxable income is 50% upto 75L

Ans:
1 https://cleartax.in/s/section-44ada
Ex. If you're earning 25L,
employee based tax 30% (*not flat, taken for ease of calculation)
25L-7.5Ltax = 17.5L
Contact base: 50% of total will be taxable
Taxable income 12.5, 30%(* ease of calculation)
(12.5tax free + 12.5 taxable) -3.6Ltax = 21.6L
So ideally you'll pay 50% less tax
2. Now come to your question;
IMO:
1.you may face issue while seeking home loan/ car loan - at higher percentages because business income is not considered steady as compared to job
2.There're chance of future company may not consider YOE spent as 'freelancer'
3.Though there isn't any Job safety in general, contacters will be fire before normal employees. Contacters cannot be on bench.
If I'm at your place, I'ld pay extra 3.5L for job safety, company perks - medical/grp insurance, peace of mind. Listen to your guts, take a call. Life is to short to read this long ans 🥲
While laying off, they don’t give any kind of severance and save money for themselves 😂

That can be written in the contact as n month notice. In general the protections are less but it's not like companies aren't screwing over their full time employees by pipping them and asking them to resign voluntarily. A business contract has more teeth than a offer letter which is totally one sided.
Bro I'm literally about to ask my company to classify me as contractor instead of full time
