This query is : Resolved
Hello
My company currently has independent contractors working for us in Mumbai. We are an international company and don't have a legal entity in India.
Next year we plan to rent an office so the contractors no longer have to work from home. I would like advice as to any tax or legal risks associated with providing an office location for our contractors. Is this possible or would this mean they would be considered employees, not contractors under India law?
Thank you for your help.

You have to pay and abide by Indian Taxation law / other law till law permit otherwise.
Consult local consultant.
