03 August 2011 As long as you are NOT on the payroll of the company (employer - employee relationship not established)and attending office as a consultant you can do so. there is also a leading case on this from where i am suggesting, unfortunatley i do not remember the case.

But it is always advisable to consult ICAI and get a written confirmation from them.
