Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax differences between consultants and employees. Consultant income is taxed under 'Profits and Gains of Business or Profession', allowing for deductions of business expenses, leading to a potentially lower effective tax rate on net profit. Employee income, conversely, falls under 'Income from Salaries' with fewer deductible expenses.

Consultant income will be come under profits and gains of business or profession and employee contract income will be come under income from salaries.
So on a yearly income of 13 lac I have to pay around 25% of 13 lac?
Are you an employee or consultant??
Yes I have a consultant contract
Then it will be professional income. you can deduct all relevant expenses from the gross receipts. like electricity charges, computer depreciation, salaries if any, Internet charges, traveling charges etc...
tax needs to pay on net profit/net income, not on gross receipts from consultancy services.
It is good that you are into consultancy contract.
now you can reduce your net income by claiming expenses.
effective tax rate may get as low as 12% on net income.
TAX FOR CONSULATANT WILL BE SHOWN UNDER INCOME FROM BUSINESS AND PROFESSION.
TAX FOR EMPLOYEE IS UNDER A SEPERATE CONTRACT.
