Pay slip query - Can we give pay slip to a consultant?

Can we give pay slip to a consultant?

Payslip / Salary-slip is mandatory in case of Persons employed by an Esta on their Muster-Roll whereas Consultant provides Service for a limited/specified Service for stated period.

Dear Geeta,
Consultants need to raise an invoice; and payment is made against the invoice. There is no payslip involved/required or to be given in such a circumstance.

Pay slips are for employees. Consultant is not an employee. Thus, issue of pay slip is not attracted.

Pay slip are given for the employees and not for consultants.

Based on the employment agreement we can employ a person on consultancy to avoid maximum taxation and he can pay applicable percentage of TDS. Thus we can issue pay slip which can be called consultancy fee slip. There is no legal binding that we cannot give any statement to the retainers or consultants.

Thanks
