30 October 2023 Hello Expert, I am planning to join for a foreign (UAE Based) company as contractor from India. They will be paying in AED to directly my Indian bank account in INR based on the conversion rate for the same day.
Now, my query is under what category of taxpayer should I pay my tax and how will it be deducted.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards,
Deepesh
