I am mainly a salaried professional but for extra income i do free lancing also.
Now after GST all the people for whom i use to do free lancing are asking for GST number. Earlier they used to deduct TDS but now they are saying GST or no business.
Kindly advise can I take GST number and remain salaried also.

Yes you can get yourself registered for GST along with your salary income.
(better to maintain 2 desperate accounts.)
You will have to collect gst from your clients and pay to government monthly.

Thank you very much for your guidance Experts! One more help. So next I will have to file 2 separate Returns? or just 1 mentioning my Freelancing income as Other Income and keep paying Govt back the GST I have collected.
