I've many things from many people. How do the taxes work for a law firm associate since they are not employees? Moreover, what is the 50% TDS thing all about?
50% TDS? Lol! The quality of people graduating from law schools now a days is scary!
Sadly whatever you've heard is completely wrong or looks like it went over your head (I think it's most likely the latter).
50 deduction is not TDS, but deduction of expenses from income u/s 44ADA of income tax act
Under 44ADA, 50% of your taxable income can be claimed as oresumed expenses. You'll have to pay tax only on the remaining 50%.

Eg: Income of 30L

50% Deduction and tax is payable on 15L @ the relevant rate.
