One can carry out activities that are not in the nature of employment or material gain. Besides being a trustee and doing not for profit work, one can be a director in a company, or also teach in schools/colleges, help in the society etc and also receive honorarium which is not a fee or charges for providing the services but a nominal amount as a gesture of gratitude
