1. Tax payee or not?

Where do you fit in?

We must know where we stand, this makes our tax computation easier.

PS: Do not think that you can get away with hiding your freelance earnings (unless it is made in cash). These days, all transactions are online, and they definitely leave a trail. Trust me, no one wants to be on the bad-books of the tax-man. Sooner or later, IT-Dept is going to catch up. Remember Paypal-RBI issue???
