        27M currently working as a permanent blue collar in Indian Oil Corporation.
        I am still learning to code .

        In the possible future if i was able to provide service as freelancer can i legally do that while working under IOCL .I am legally not allowed to have other source of income.

        If not cant i open a company under someone name other than me and get paid through there.

        Can you register as a company with one person

          Check your appointment letter. It would be mentioned there. We don’t know what you have signed in your agreement.

                  Read the whole letter bro. There are clauses related to doing other jobs, doing some other work using company’s resources, providing knowledge and secrets to competitors etc. You cannot sign your appointment letter without reading it.

                          Any breach of the contract will lead to termination right?
