Hello Expert, I am planning to join for a foreign (UAE Based) company as contractor from India. They will be paying in AED to directly my Indian bank account in INR based on the conversion rate for the same day. Now, my query is under what category of taxpayer should I pay my tax and how will it be deducted. Thanks for your help in advance.

You will be considered as resident tax payer in India if you provide services in India. Your residential status will be considered for taxation.

Hello Sir, Thanks for your input. Will I be considered as salaried employee only? If I am working as contractor for foreign company as well. Regards, Deepesh

Since foreign entity is sending money(as a consideration for your service ) directly to your bank account maintained in India, it become your income earned in India and consequently it will be taxed in India(as per the IncometaxAct,1961)irrespective of the nature of your service and residential status.
