Document background
The Self Employed Service Agreement is a crucial legal document used in the Indian business environment to formalize arrangements between independent contractors and businesses. This agreement is essential when engaging professionals or service providers who maintain their independence while delivering specific services to organizations. It complies with Indian contract law and taxation requirements, protecting both parties' interests by clearly defining the scope of work, payment terms, intellectual property rights, and confidentiality obligations. The document is particularly relevant in today's gig economy and flexible working arrangements, where businesses increasingly rely on independent contractors for specialized services. It helps avoid potential misclassification of employment status and ensures clear understanding of rights, obligations, and deliverables between parties.
