Mr. Patel, it's depend on your contract with MNC. If there is any clause against it than it's not possible for you to involving in any other business activity.

When you are in government service, then it is not possible. As long as you are in private sector, it is as per your agreement. Most of the companies may not mention this clause. So you can carry on brokerage business.

Thank you Mr. Shubham

Actually I am searching about this topic from past one week. When I talked with some HR personnel in social networking sites, some replied that it depends on organizational culture and HR mannual. When consulted with HR personnel of IT industry, she said generally IT industry is flexible with it.
