This discussion clarifies whether commission income earned under sections 194H and 194D of the Income Tax Act can be declared as business receipts and claimed under presumptive taxation (44ADA) with a 50% expense deduction. The consensus is that commission income is not eligible for presumptive taxation, and therefore, cannot be shown as professional income for this purpose. The query also touches upon whether there are fixed expense amounts for commission income like that of LIC or postal agents.
