IS THIS ADVISABLE

It is not advisable.  As your advocate friend's name is entered into the rolls of the company and the salary register he becomes an employee of the company and hence he is ineligible to practice as per bar council rules.  As per bar council rules, it is not permissble for a advocate to become a employee of a company unless he has been temporarily suspended from legal practice by way of order from the bar council of the respective state.  Your friend cannot practice law as well as be a employee of a company.  You may refer the bar council rules.

thank you sir

if that is only on the wage register when what happend?

He can render his services on retainer basis to the company and continue practice.

I agree with Mr Krishna and Mr Gundlapallis

Thank yougundlapallis, my qustion is that now my friend he is doing his adcocate services since last month onlyto the company but he is taking his wage unless 240days it was not covered under salary this wage is considered as retainer fee?

Mr. Bhaskar :

Advocates need not work for a wage - wage is something paid to a labourer or workmen - Your confusion is mixed up with the term 'continuous service' for the purpose of calculation of Bonus, gratuity etc etc.  Dont worry about 240 days or anything else like that.  For getting salary or wages one must be on the rolls of the company - a retainer wont be on the rolls of the company -(for your better understanding, you see panel advocates retained by the bankers - think in those terms) he only works for his fees and his employment is temporary can be renewed periodically or terminated on mutual understanding or agreement.  He is not eligible for bonus or gratuity or incentives or retirement benefits -  Hope i clarified your doubts.
