Getting paid in usd in India

Are there any tax benifits/ loss while working for a remote company while staying in India?

I'm told that the pay would be a bank - wire transfer every month or it could be a payoneer.

Are there any specific questions should i ask to get more clarity on this?

If you have any resource, please paste the link below ...

I have head that people set up a business in Dubai and get their payment transferred there to save tax. Btw can you give me insights about how you landed the job ?

That’s still a good start. I have heard that getting the first USD offer is the toughest. You should be able to easily cross 10k per month in your next switch as you will already have a proven track record. All the best!

Yes, there could be. Get a consultant contract and you can explore Section 44ADA if your income is less than INR 75 L

Not a financial expert here, so my suggestion would be to consult some CA. You can also get to know different ways of reducing your taxes from them.
