Hi,

Can anyone tell me what are the ways my employer can find out if I am doing freelancing work?

P.s Freelancing company did not create a PF account for me but only the TDS is deducted and it is showing in Form 26AS

1. Form 16 and Form 26AS:
• Form 16: It is a certificate issued by an employer detailing the TDS deducted and deposited to the government on behalf of the employee.
• Form 26AS: It is an annual consolidated tax statement that reflects the tax deducted at source (TDS), tax collected at source (TCS), advance tax, and self-assessment tax paid by the taxpayer.
2. Potential Detection Methods:
• Mismatch in Tax Forms: If the TDS reflected in Form 26AS does not match with the TDS as per Form 16 provided by the primary employer, it can raise questions about additional income sources.
• Tax Returns: When filing income tax returns, all sources of income need to be declared. If the employer cross-verifies the declared income with the information available in Form 26AS, they may identify the additional freelance income.
• PF Account: Though the freelance company has not created a PF account, the primary employer may not have direct access to this information, but discrepancies in tax forms are more likely to be noticed.

Thank you for info.
What I know is that employer does not have access for Form 26AS or my ITR, then how would they find the mismatch?

Think from this perspective,
If your freelancing work is directly proportional to the kind of work you do at workplace. Your employer might have problem with that as per your contract signed during the joining.

If your freelancing is not directly proportional than simply mention about your freelancing to your employer.

Otherwise in the interest of conflict,
1. Inform your employer about your willingness to continue freelancing and ask for their confirmation of NOC.
2. Don't accept the payment in your name in the freelancing. Use your family members account whose income is less or don't have any income.

So I’m planning on leaving my position before school starts, but the application and interview process has been slow. At this point I’m afraid I won’t find a job until late July. Should I let my school now and let them post my job as an anticipated position? I’d hate for them to have to find someone last minute, but I also want to keep that school as a fall back just in case. Unfortunately, it’s a terrible position and there has not been a lot of interest in it in the past.
