We are a Trust registered u/s 12 AA of the I.T.Act as a public service organisation. We collect garbage from about 1,500 homes in Hyderabad for a monthly fee, segregate and remove the recyclables, and send the rest to landfill through the municipal corporation trucks. 15 workers carry out this task, and, apart from these, we have a bill collector and a supervisor.
My query is whether we can make a few of the garbage collection workers as contractors who employ the rest of the workers. Do we need a licence for this and does the contractor need a licence? We have to keep in mind that the work we are wanting to assign to the contractors is perennial work throughout the year, but, even taking into account the number of workers the contractors will engage, the total workforce will be less than 20. We will of course deduct TDS as required from our payments to the contractor
Would greatly appreciate the advice of the experts in this group.
