What Is 'Moonlighting' & Is It Lawful In India?
Moonlighting essentially refers to the practice of holding more than one job outside the normal working hours without the knowledge of the principal employer. An employee may work a normal 9-5 job as a primary source of income but work nights at a different job to earn extra money. This is generally done to have another source of income or even to make better utilisation of one’s talent and passion.
However, the problem arises when you are working under two formal legal contracts and working for your rival company as well.
