assignments in a particular time frame. A freelancer is neither the company’s full-time employee nor listed in the
payroll system of an organization. The gross income of a freelancer will be the total of all the receipts a freelance get
in the course of conducting his profession. The bank details can present the statement of their professional incomes
from the different banking channels.
