hi Rajnish,
Thanking you very much for your mail.
I'm not just talking abt tax and some people hired as CONSULTANTS and paid as CONSULTATION FEES,
If some people are hired as CONSULTANTS and they are working for a SPECIFIC TASK / SPECIFIC PERIOD then its a valid practice.
But how far it is valid, all of the employees been paid as CONSULTATION FEES for all types of Designations even though they have been appointed as full time employees(with out any constraints in Appointment Letter expect a minimum Working Period and Notice Period to exit company)?
And i want to know PAY SYSTEM OF CONSULTING COMPANIES and its APPLICABLE LAWS AND LIMITIONS
Warm Regards

Dear All,
Persuant to questions put forward, i am also witnessing a similar irritant currently.
I work in a small IT company. As part of my FY 2004-05 assessment, i was entitled to a lumpsum amount as a bonus and i agreed to the amount.
Now, when i was about to get the bonus letter, i was told that the bonus amount is divided in 2 parts (one as a consultant fee - payable by another company, who is owned by the promoter of my company, and the second part as a normal amount - taxed deducted).
Now my question(s) are -
1) how am i supposed to handle the consultancy fees in my Tax return.
2) Is this some kind of IT evasion tactics, as i have not heard about this till this day.
currently i am waiting for the FBT to become a law and then would consult a CA accordingly. :evil:
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dear
The system of Consultants Agreement comes from Independent Contractors Agreement.He or she is like an Out-sourced person and the results alone are specified and derived and there is no supervision of their Work.In India they are designated as Consultants without calling them Independent Contractor . Perhaps the name Contractor denotes deploying workforce in Factories.In such genuine Agreements there is no need to deduct Statutory dues.
