Hi,
I dont know which category I should mention for my case.Pardon me if Iam wrong.
I want to do a freelance job.Recently i got contract job offer from Netherlands.They want to outsource the job to India.Its software programmer job.
They are ready to deposit money in my account every month as a salary. But what they looking for from me is, like in USA there is business licence even for freelance work even if one dont have any business name or title registered, is there anything some sort of proof that Iam self employed in India or any licence.Also I want to know what are all the legal issues will be there regarding the taxes or registering the freelance work.Iam totaly unware of this process and need experts guidance.
Please help me in this case.

There is no such license for self employment available here except a duly sworn in affidavit or a certificate of a local MLA or MP.

Thanks for the response..
Again , I read in some article that we(freelancer) need to pay the tax in advance esp when there is income from foreign countries. Can you guide me in this or do I need to talk to any auditor reg. this. I just want all these information as I have to tell the client that there are no legal issues in receiving the money from my end.
Thanks

Obtain a Trade Licence from the local authority.It should state that U do business in the relevant sector. Register with the Income-tax & obtain a PAN card.
