What is the difference between a gig worker and
an independent contractor?
We often are quick to assume that a gig worker
and independent contractors are one and the same.
At times, both these terms are used
interchangeably, but there does exist a thin line
of difference between a gig worker and an
independent contractor. An independent contractor
refers to an individual who works for a client or
a company without being an employee of the
company. A gig worker is similar to an
independent contractor, however, a gig worker
lies outside the traditional employer-employee
and contractor relationship. On the other hand,
independent contractors are bound by certain
regulations and entitlements whereas gig workers
are eligible to minimal benefits with flexibility
in timelines.

each other. A gig job may last a few hours, weeks
or even months in certain cases and the
remuneration will depend on such factors.

Do gig workers pay taxes?

estimated taxes. You also are eligible to avail
certain deductions and benefits under 80C in
India.

over the traditional job economy. Due to the
