Nurse/Helper are hired by a hospital trust. For the welfare/help of patients, the patients/needy themselves contacts the trust and the trust provides them the helper/nurse as per their requirement. The revenue/receipts for these helper/nurse is received directly from the patients. The trust is just an intermediary between the helper/nurse and the patients. No salary/receipt is received from trust to the nurses. Also the trust does not involve in making of Form 16 of nurses and deduction of TDS against those receipts to the nurses/helpers. The trust has also issued a written note that they wont be issuing any Form 16 and neither deducting any TDS on such receipts.
Does the receipt/revenue by the helper/nurse from those patients is to be treated as Income from Salary Or Income from Business/Profession?
