This discussion addresses how to report commission income where TDS has been deducted under Section 194JB. While it can be reported under 'Income from Other Sources' as it doesn't fit the presumptive tax scheme (Section 44ADA), it's also suggested that if insurance agency is the main business, reporting it under 'Income from Business and Profession' and claiming expenses is a better approach. Filing ITR3 is recommended to avoid potential issues.
One of my client has earned Commission income from an Insurance company and the company has deducted TDS @ 10% under Section 194JB
My query is while filing his Income tax return under which head of Income should I consider this income. Can I take this income as Other source income since commission income does not come under Presumptive Taxation scheme under Section 44ADA.

If the main business is of Insurance agent, then better file for Income from Business and profession and claim relevant expenditure for the business activity.
