Hi Aryan in the present case if the payment is to foreign nationals then you need to open Bank Accounts and transfer the same.

If you get the same in your account then you need to clarify from the employer regarding the reimbursement is from salary or else it will be taxed in your hands.

If the amount of salary is below 20000 you can obtain declaration and receipt from the employees.
