If you are living in the United States and working in the United States (even from home), you need the employment authorization document. Since you have the L2 visa, you are eligible to receive the document by filing the I765 application. I suggest you confer with an accountant in the United States about the requirements for you to report income earned from the Indian company while you are living in the United States.
