30 June 2020 You need to check the Offer Letter/Appointment letter for the aforesaid role. If the compensation paid is paid as Salary/Compensation/Wages or by any other name in the nature of Salary paid at a regular interval, then you should consider this as Income from Salary.
Else, if the appointment is on Contract basis or likewise and the amount paid is considered as Consultancy Fees or likewise, being not permanent and regular in nature, then you should consider the same as Income from Business and Profession.

01 July 2020 Noted, Mr Seetharaman Sir.
But not necessarily all the appointments are made in such manner.
At times such residents are paid as consultancy fees for reasons better known to the employers.
