13 March 2014 Choice is with the assessee. If the commission is major ingrediant of income, show it under "income from business or profession" , else "income from other sources." As per the administrative circular of CBDT, 40 % can be claimed on adhoc basis.

13 March 2014 What is the amount of commission? Refer the circular.....it gives some limit..... If your commission is below the said limit, you can apply the ad hoc deduction.

13 March 2014 Books of accounts be maintained, if the amount of commission exceeds the limit. (Of course 40% can be considered as the "thumb rule", in that case as well....)
