Finance for Freelancers in India
Freelancers carry their own safety net. Without an employer's cover, TDS, or steady salary, you handle protection, tax computation, and advance tax yourself, which is exactly where clean planning pays off.
What to prioritise
- Choose the right tax computation: presumptive scheme versus actual expenses.
- Pay advance tax on time to avoid 234B and 234C interest.
- Buy your own term and health cover, since there is no employer backup.
