Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxability of freelance income earned by an ordinarily resident Indian individual from foreign clients, paid via PayPal. The income is taxable under normal slab rates. Depending on how the income is classified (professional vs. other source), either ITR 3 or 4, or ITR 2, should be filed. Online filing is possible for all individuals.

1. yes income is taxable
2.normal slab rate is applicable
3. ITR 3 or 4 in case showing as professional income else ITR 2 as other source
4. yes you can file it online as normal people

Thank you very much Mr Abhay.

Please let me know whether the income is liable for GST...

Thanks
