Though nowadays we have started opting for consultants, but actually, as per my readings based on the Shop & Estb Act, a consultant is not supposed to go to the client's office. If it is found that they are continuously present, etc., as proof, then according to the Act, the consultant is no longer considered a consultant but is regarded as a regular employee. However, we see that most organizations are not concerned about this but focus on the tax aspect. Seniors are expected to guide me on this, please.
