Why all this hulla bulla. The MT has to realize that money is needed to run a company and just as inflation hits the MTs, it also hits the companies.... they have to pay overheads which are rising.. even a chaprasi in the company will not settle for anything less than 10 K per month.... in this forum there are companies offering Re. 1.25 for editing in Escript platform.. if you are confident of giving sustained quality for for it.. but the mantra is sustained quality and high line count because the moment your quality dips you will be kicked out.. and if your line count drops even if your quality is good, then also you cannot earn much because your salary is liked to your line count. The problem with MT industry is a lot of mediocre brains joined this field thinking that it was easy money where you have to listen and type some stuff... So the mantra to make money in MT is quality and line count only... and of course finding a company who pay the most .. Regarding the TDS, when you are working on a contract basis, the company can deduct 1%, but you have to pay the rest of the taxes by the financial year end... so dont think that you can blow all your money after 1% TDS and relax for life because you have to calculate and pay your taxes compulsorily.
