This discussion clarifies that commission income received under Section 194H is not eligible for presumptive assessment under Section 44AD. Therefore, the client must prepare a Profit and Loss account and a Balance Sheet. It is advisable to deduct expenses incurred in earning this commission to accurately reflect taxable income.

Sir, if my client want to show entire commission as taxable income, then also, the same rule will stand i.e.P/L a/c and Balance Sheet ?

There is no other option. It is better to deduct expenses which were spent for earning the commission income. Some details in the P&L and BS is mandatory.
